Marshall JCM800 - Zakk (even though I've never listen to his music)

Mesa Dual Recto - Soundgarden

Fender Bassman - Social Distortion (I don't know what they used, but I associate Bassman amps with that tone)

Vox AC30 - Brian May & STP

Orange AD30 - Clutch (I doubt they used that particular model, but Orange makes me think of Clutch)

That was pretty much my point. Are we then going to list all Fender users in the Bassman category, and all Mesas in the Recto column?

 

 

 

True . . .

 

. . . we NEED to know, for this to work properly, cause i can name soo many Orange users that is not even on the Orange amp site, but in order to do so, we NEED to know is it Orange in general, or tust the AD30 ?

'Cause there is also an AD50 out there. Alot more expensive (Custom Shop model only) than the AD30.

I just threw that model of Orange out there; I'm not sure what the most popular one was so I guessed that.

 

The main thing this tells me is that the Bassman gets a lot of attention for being a great amp, yet there aren't too many different answers.

Marshall JCM800


Mesa Dual Recto


Fender Bassman


Vox AC30


Orange AD30



This is kinda like an experiment that a friend is doing.

 

 

Mesa Dual Recto - Metallica

 

Fender Bassman - Peter Green era Fleetwood Mac

 

Vox AC30 - Brian May of Queen

 

Orange AD30 - AC/DC and Fleetwood Mac used OR120 Pics Only amps in the early 70's before changing to Marshalls, but AD30's, what?

Well, going by sale figures, the most popular right now is the Orange Rockerverb series, not the AD30.

Marshall JCM 800 = Slash / Tom Morello

 

Mesa Dual Rec = Korn / Collective Soul / Kim Thayil

 

Fender Bassman = ME :thu:

 

Vox AC30 = Brian May

 

Orange (any model ?) = Wolfmother / Bigelf
