Marshall super lead / bass, jcm800s, ampegs, orange, electric, metamp, sunn, hiwatt just crank the {censored} out of any decent amp man! a lot of it is being LOUD... with a good bassist and drummer to fill up the whole sound... early qotsa is a cranked ampeg v4/b with a sd-1... i think fu manchu use marshall dsl 100s?

 

helmet is kinda different, page is running VHTs ultra leads now and in the early stuff he used jcm800s with some other stuff in the rack?

Marshall DSL.

 

 

Good choice. I played one of the reissues recently, and, while it wasn't what I was looking for, it would be very well-suited for stoner. Very dark and thick with tons of gain.

 

I would also recommend the obvious: Orange.

 

Edit: Also, anything with a Big Muff Pi in front. My Little Big Muff is incredible for stoner/doom.

Laney GH50L works well for me, and its cheap as chips 2nd hand.. Some clips:

These arent really stoner rock, but they are riff-centric so I guess it works:
