The original uses a Marshall JCM2000 DSL with stacked distortion pedals (MXR Distortion III, Suhr Riot). Your Hot Rod DeVille is Fender-voiced with scooped mids and higher treble shelf — I pushed mid to 7 to compensate for the Marshall's naturally mid-forward bark. The DeVille's Drive channel with More Drive engaged reaches moderate crunch but cannot match the Marshall-plus-pedals saturation; gain 6 is the sweet spot before it gets flubby. Without a distortion pedal, you will get 70% of the aggression — the tight chugs will be looser and the sustain shorter on held notes.
