Well, Pagey's orignal sound was a Tele through a Vox AC30. Pretty Clean actually on the first album.

Then he went to the LP through Marshalls and that's probably what you'r thinking....your gear is pretty far away from his, but I would suggest you try playing along with a CD - don't worry about accuracy - focus on the tone of the CD and try to simulate it with your gear - one note: Jimmy almost NEVER plays with his guitar volume knob on 10 - he likes 6-8, so start there with your pickups and adjust the amp from there.

I don't think you can nail his tone but you can have tones of fun instead

What about all the acoustic songs???

The Jackhammer should be able to give you a pretty convincing Marshall crunch. Set it to distortion, quite a bit of gain, use the contour to get a mid-heavy signal... treble to cut off the sharp edges, and run it through the clean channel of your amp.
