I always laugh a bit when folks are overly concerned with what other people used, you can buy every single piece of ear someone else has and not sound at all like that guy
I think some buy gear just to belong to the club of owners and not even play it.

I have witnessed this as well in the past few years.

I thought those shoes were Prince's until I saw the Quiet Riot case.... As for tone if Randy didn't quadruple track just about everything his tone on the records would have been even more ass. One of the best players of our time but his tone was worse than Paul Gilberts. He still is my favorite player of all time and I was lucky enough to see him live. In fact the original Def Leppard opened so I got to see Pete Willis on guitar with them. It was a good night.

I disagree completely. If they would have refrained from multi-tracking I think his tone would have been rich and thick.
Very cool getting to see Pete Willis. Loved the first album although you probably saw the High and Dry tour?

His would have still kicked ass regardless of double tracking. I thought he had a great live tone. The first Ozzy cd tone was a bit drastic but the 2nd cd was cool.
He used what was available at the time. The MXR stuff was great and worked. The main thing IMO was the MXR 10 Band EQ. It could make a Distortion+ have all sorts of tone ability. I used one back in the day. It was my secret weapon.

Randy was a pretty small guy, wasn't he? 
It could explain the very high heels

Just to be clear, I think the doubletracking worked against the phat tone because of phase cancellation. Double tracking is a beach and in my opinion, wasn't exactly a science for distorted electric guitars in the early 80's.
As Carl said, his live tone was good. "single tracked."
