5150s!!!!!!!!! LOL they can be a decent hotrodded marshall tone, since they are based on the Soldano SLO which was a hot rodded marshall circuit...but...

 

Splawns are really good at the tone, and Steve Stevens used a Roccaforte and a couple other amps (possibly a 5150 II, i know he used them live...). Voodoos could probably cop the tone also...

 

and then theres always just a hot rodded marshall LOL

 

as for which Roccaforte...i dunno, i suppose the man himself needs to come in here and elaborate!

Actually, Steve Stevens used many many amps to record that album with.

He used a Rocca, 5150, Marshall and a real nice Custom Audio/Suhr OD100...

His live rig is three 5150's and the Custom Audio/Suhr OD100...At least that's what he used this past year.

I know he's been working with Doug on the Rocca amp too, but the inside scoop is that he's staying with at least one OD100 and the 5150's.
