I think CC is the man. He gets a lot of hate. fuck the haters. If I could get rich and famous playing like him, I'd do it too.
my band plays a few poison songs. I use a JCM800-ish patch on my axe-fx ultra. here's a clip of what it sounds like:

I should point out that I'm using a guitar with 2 humbuckers, probably somewhat similar sounding to the OP's soltero. CC's tone isn't exactly rocket science IMO - the "cranked marshall" tone will get you 95% there.
Good luck!
