I thought Sykes only used a Marshall on the solo for Is This Love. Could’ve swore I read that somewhere years ago.

Read that too. I think it was on his website

Bob Rock had indicated that he used a hint of marshall to add in some mid-range when run with the MesaS

What amps did he use on Slide it In album? 1984 Saints and sinners album 1982?

Yep. Check out "Bad Boys Live" from 2004. That amp sounds Monstrous.
Oops I see someone beat me to it. ^^

If you listen to it, crank the intro to "Cold Sweat". MONSTER tone.
