That's nice but to get a good guitar distortion you need a valve in there somewhere that can be overdriven. Common Guitar Amps are the best way of producing an overdriven guitar amp sound. Equipment like Marshall and Vox are very high quality built for overdriving. If you are in a situation where you can't overdrive a valve amp the next best thing is a good quality processor that will give the effect of an overdriven amp. Marshall make good ones as they are tailored to the sound of their amps, I can think of a few others a couple of which have an actual valve stage in them to give an actual valve overdrive sound.
Brian May uses 3 Vox AC30s, not to et extra volume as the increase over one would be marginal in a stadium but to give a more solid and rounded sound. I used to use Two Marshall heads and 4x cabs back in my loud band days but most of the volume at a gig any bigger than a pub would come from the PA.
