The weak point in that chain is the RP10. It would be much much better to use 
guitar fx software in the DAW, or use a couple of analogue stomp boxes, or, best 
of all, do as much as you can with the Marshall & mics, and just add a small 
amount of echo or reverb in the mix, if necessary. The RP10 - like most digital 
guitar fx that don't cost a fortune - uses cheap ADA converters. If you're going 
to this much trouble to get a good sound, then you need to exclude it.

The other trick, is, whatever sound you end up with, play with it, for as many 
hours, days, weeks or months you can. If it's truly a detailed sound, then your 
own voice will eventually come clear through it, in a unique way, and everybody 
will ask how you did it ;)
