My favorite band. I saw them live 5 times and tried to find out about Rothery's gear. While I don't know details - especially not on the early days since I'm into their H times - Steve was using a Groove Tubes Trio preamp for years. Fender & Blade Strats. Here some further details can be found:

Wow, so good tune. I heard it like thousand times. I recognized the voice of Phil Collins, I heard of bad Marillion, but wasn't aware that Phil Collins was there...

I got a similar sound with a roland jazz chorus, vintage chorus and a touch of delay for clean parts with a strat. For solo part I tried to add the "ds-1" kemper distortion but it sounded harsh
hint: lower the pick parameter in amp section

Squier Strat
Boss DS-1
Boss Digital Delay
Roland JC-120 -
Voila! A screenshot from the Kayleigh video
Some Roland, some Marshall (JCM?) in the back.
As for the guitar i don't know this modell, but i am pretty sure i saw him playing Yamaha guitars at that time.

Here you can read what equipment Steve Rothery used for the early stuff. Squier Strats with a

GG: Cool. And on that note, let us talk about guitars! I always really liked your classic black Squiers. Do you still use them and take them out on tour?
SR: Yeah! There’s nothing that sounds quite like them! They’re Japanese vintage ones from the early/mid 80s. There’s EMG SA pickups in them and Kahler trems and they just react so well to the old stuff in my signal chain like the BOSS CE-300 Chorus, and the Analogman DS-1 Distortion into a JC120 which is the basis for most of those albums, really. I only used the Marshalls at the time for kind of power chords and grunge but nearly everything was done with the JC120, which is unusual because it’s a transistor amp. But I’ve found a sound with the DS-1 Distortion, the Strat, the JC-120 and a bit of Delay that just, uh, is a very defined solo sound, very dynamic and its harmonically very rich so it feeds back in a very nice way.

That walkup bridge in Lap of Luxury on BRAVE is brilliant
