good ol' 80's Hair Metal Tone

How do i get that perfect 80's metal tone

please ...any suggestions...

i'm pretty new with effects.

thanks

Marshall JCM800! or similar amp

just that??

i mean , you don't need any effects or anything?

Ha. Name a few guitar players you like the sound of and we can take a peak at what they use/used. We'll probably find things like Ratt pedals, boss pedals, marshall jcm amps etc....

well..i'd like to know sounds from stratovarius' matias kapiainen, and blind guardian's andre olbrich & marcus saipen.

if that be ok...?

thanks again.
