Members guitarman3001 Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 highly modified marshalls from what I remember reading. Also some soldanos at some point. I could be wrong but for some reason that's what comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EADGBE Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 From what I've read and heard a Randall solid state and a Marshall 100 watt plexi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sylvesterlowery Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I also remember him mentioning a purple tolexed Marshall Plexi that Aspen Pittman of Groove Tubes often loaned him. He loved that amp and tried to buy it many times but Pittman would never sell it. Apparently ol' George was pretty rough on his amps at the time and blew up several Plexis.

Members The Rossness Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 Yeah, lynch is a tone freak. He has 4 randall preamps, but they're just for show. His main amp is a Soldano SLO and a 68' plexi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 If you go back and read the interviews with Lynch during those days, you find he was a serious tone hound. He hunted high and low for the right tone. He endorsed Randalls, but was a diehard Marshall user. He rented a modified Marshall that he fell in love with and mentioned in several interviews. "Upon returning #39 to S.I.R. following his rental of the amp, George finally learned the name of the mystery modifier who had performed the modification to #39: Tim Caswell (Tim had worked in S.I.R.

Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 12, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 This is the same amp that Slash used to record Appetite for Destruction. He loved the amp so much he "lost it" and never returned it to SIR. Or so the story goes. You beat me to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 I thought I remembered hearing/reading that George loved the same Marshall that Warren Dimartini was using back during the RATT heyday. That they went back and forth with the thing. I knew he was a Randall RG endorser but I never heard no RG on no Dokken album. I had an RG100 back then BECAUSE Lynch endorsed them.

Members mfergel Posted February 12, 2010 Members Share Posted February 12, 2010 For some reason I think he also used some Lee Jackson modified Marshalls at one point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
