The Pocket Pod has aparently 32 different classic amps but they name them funny and, in a few cases, it's pretty hard to know what they are.

 

So please help me (and others). What is:

 

Tube preamp:

small tweed:

Tweed blues:

British blues:

Black panel:

Boutique:

California crunch:

British Class A:

British Classic:

British High Gain:

Modern Class A:

Thread plate:

Modern High Gain:

 

I already guess what some of those are but others I'm not sure. Let's see what you think.

Here are some wild guesses based on having owned a couple modelers before.

 

Tube preamp:

small tweed: 50's Champ

Tweed blues: Probably Bassman

British blues: Bluesbreaker

Black panel: Fender Blackface

Boutique: ? Soldano maybe?

California crunch: Mesa Dual Rec

British Class A: Early Marshall (JTM45 etc)

British Classic: Marshall Super Lead?

British High Gain: JCM800

Modern Class A:

Thread plate: Some kind of peavey with diamond plate on it

Modern High Gain: ??

Without going to the manual

 

Tube preamp:

small tweed: Tweed Deluxe or Tweed Champ, line 6 has done both in the past

Tweed blues: Tweed Bassman

British blues: Jtm-45/Bluesbreaker

Black panel: Fender Blackface

Boutique: I was going to say Matchless until I saw the Modern Class A (which is definitely Matchless)...Dumble?

California crunch: Mesa Boogie Mk. series

British Class A: Vox AC-30

British Classic: Marshall Plexi

British High Gain: Marshall (00 or later

Modern Class A: Matchless DC-30

Thread plate: Mesa Recto

Modern High Gain:Well, since Thread plate is Mesa, I'll say Soldano SLO
