Marshall Plexi 50
AC/DC 101. This amp creates a smoky, fat distortion with a lot of beef. 
Fender Super Reverb
The distortion of this 60 Watt amp is extraordinarily harmonic and 
round thanks to its rectifier valve. The clean sound develops to a very 
sweet and mid-stressed character with increased playing intensity.

In Player …Pop: Independent, Rock: Classic/Modern/Riffs, RnB: Blues Boogie

Vox AC30 Top Boost
This british combo was originally developed for organ amplification. 
But the pop and rock stars from the island pretty quickly got hooked 
by its uniquely brillant and warm timbre. The Beatles finally helped it to 
world fame.
Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier
150 Watt power from this top equipped with six 6L6 valves deliver the 
fattest distortion on this planet. The new generation of Nu Metal 
bands love it. Apart from the drop tuned guitars this amp is the main 
ingredient of the NuMetal sound.
Model1963
In Player …Pop: Brit1/Brit2/Dream Chords
Model1998
In Player …all Nu Metal players
