The Ramones wanted to emulate the excitement of The Beatles. So they used the same microphone placements and used a four-track recorder giving them that old school essence.
The guitars were recorded through their separate stereo channels, the bass on the left, the rhythm guitar on the right, and the drums and vocals mixed in the middle of the stereo mix. In addition to this old school method of recording, the band and producer, Craig Leon, added more contemporary techniques such as overdubbing. Perhaps the most famous of all, though, is the doubling of the vocals, which gives Joey Ramone’s delivery the warmth that is so iconic.

Joey Ramone Guitar tone.
From what I managed o find on forums people re saying that his signature sound comes from a Marshall JMP 100 with a 4×12 cab. The setting were Gain – 7, Bass – 4, Treble – 7 and reverb on 2.
The guitar he used was a Mosrite Ventures guitar with a DiMarzio FS-1 single coil pickup. He would also use two amps when playing on stage.
A lot of people are trying to replicate the Joey Ramone Tone with a simple guitar pedal. They say that to get the best Ramone tone is with a RAT distortion pedal or with a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal.
These 2 pedals are very popular right now because a lot of artist used these pedals, For example Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain used a Boss DS-1 for most of his song and later on he used a RAT pedal and he he would switch between them depending on the song he was playing.
