Ok, so the Beatles also used AC50s, 100s, and Fenders.Brian May also used that little amp for little soundsPage mainly used little fenders in the studio and Marshall stacks liveDeep Purple also used Marshalls live What works for you is something only you can decide. The amount of gain an amp has isn't as important as how it reacts to your playing and how your playing in turn is affected by what you hear coming out the amp. The only way to know for sure is to try some. But seriously, Fenders are {censored}, Voxes are the best, and Marshalls are for generic bro rock. That's my answer.

Members akapuli Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 Your wattage may vary If you're aming for low wattage, it worths to own an AC15, a PRRI and a Class 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GREC Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Vox made supposedly the best of both worlds several years ago. AC50 & AC100 'classic' line. One channel was Vox sound & the other was Marshall voiced. Got great reviews but they dropped off the face of the earth(?) Would have loved to try one.Anyone try these?

Members bdubbs Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have two recomendations. 1. JVM (Maybe JS version) This will get you an awesome clean and multiple levels of crunch, etc. 2. Fender amp with pedals. Fender amp with pedals can do a LOT.

The beatles - used AC30s Queen - used AC30s Led Zeppelin - used AC30s Deep Purple - used AC30s Santo & Johnny - not a {censored}ing clue. This is true.But the Beatles recorded more tracks with a Bassman head than any other amp. Starting with Rubber Soul until pretty much the break-up they all shared McCartney's Blonde Bassman and it was used as a vast amjority of all tracks for the res tof their career (Lennon and Harrison would both eventually buy Bassmans of their own). So, if you want to sound like Love Me Do, definitely go Vox. If you want to sound like Lady Madonna, look into something more Bassman Head-/Marshall JMP-esque. It works for Deep Purple and Led Zep as well. But for Queen (or Tom Petty)...that really is Vox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 12, 2013 Members Share Posted February 12, 2013 a) Marshall Vintage Modern or b) Vox AC50 CP (very underrated amp imho) Both come in a head or 2X12 combo !!! The outsider Orange Thunderverb 50 or Rockerverb 50. I prefer the Thunderverb over the Rockerverb, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
