The 5 Most Iconic Guitar Amps

[@Luindir22]

5150, Dual Rec, JCM800, AC30, Fender Twin. Just my personal list.

[@ShredShed]

perrrty much....Fender bassman or deluxe are the OG's so everything from Marshall and after that we're closely based off of those circuits.

[@TomStott80]

5150, and fender twin is still my favs amp combination for tones

[@WhoAmIWill]

I’d say bassman over the twin

[@unfcknblvbl]

Game. Set. Match. Tom, nailed it!

[@TomStott80]

Fender Bassman is an amazing amp, almost nothing you cant do with them

[@BR-kj3fp]

Every time I looked up my favorite guitarists' amp it was always either a Plexi, JCM800, MkIIC+, 5150, or Dual Rec.

[@fredriksvard2603]

So you like metallica, slayer, gojira, in flames, dream theatre, machine head and classic rock?

[@BR-kj3fp]

​@@fredriksvard2603 Something like that

[@Ottophil]

@@fredriksvard2603i like all of that, except dream theaturd

[@fredriksvard2603]

[@timesink8947]

My man made a list of iconic amps, found room for Line 6 and Peavey, but couldn't find room for Fender or Vox. Oh, Fluff...

[@caiusmadison2996]

Exactly my sentiments, good sir! What a noob.

[@drothberg3]

Yes, let's include also Pignose and Crate instead of Fender and Vox!

[@Cam_B]

agreed, vox and fender should be on this list, but so should Line6. They revolutionized amp modeling and TO THIS DAY are still revolutionizing modeling. They are kings of making digital sound analog. Maybe not in the 90s but they started it. Even today, look at Helix.There are other companies trying to do this as well and yes some are good (Zoom, digitech, etc) but not like line6 does it...

[@TheNCRGaming]

Peavey deserves it, the 5150 was revolutionary. I was surprised at no AC30 or Twin Reverb though

[@Soldano999]

What's wrong with peavey ?

[@nickmaas4467]

Probably should’ve been called ground breaking instead of iconic.

[@DSEENano511]

Nick Maas agreed. Ground breaking is more true to the subject

[@ehoc42]

Nick Maas True. Iconic implies more classic stuff

[@ЏониЏанак]

Well, kinda, ground breaking equals iconic or better said : the ground breaking stuff is usually the iconic stuff.

[@nickmaas4467]

Well, I mean it’s all just opinion at the end of the day and his list isn’t wrong but I just think iconic I think “voice of a generation” which he had two of them in there with the plexi(60’s-early 80’s), jcm800(80’s- early 90’s) etc. but not having the recto(which the 5150 is definitely deserved of the list) on there is kinda off base and definitely still what you wanted over the line 6 back in the day. Even the fractal or Kemper would be iconic... again in my opinion. A Diezel VH4 is arguably groundbreaking but not iconic by any means. There is just sooooo many amps for there to ever be a definitive honestly. Still a cool video with some neat trivia.

[@MB-yw3pv]

100,000% TRUE!

[@calebbhawkins]

Fender Bassman tweed. Vox AC30. Fender Twin. Marshall JCM 800. Mesa Boogie MIV

[@gentlewolf1279]

Dual Rec should have been on this

[@bulletproofprs]

Soldano SLO over the Rec! Mesa stole the preamp design for the rec

[@gentlewolf1279]

@@bulletproofprs My comment is more based on the fact that the dual rec has been on an overwhelmingly high amount of records and stages... super important amp

[@paigeguitarplayer]

the dual rec and slo are both sick. the 5150 too me is like a hot rodded soldano.

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

Agreed that does seem like a glaring omission.

[@craigsmith2845]

Marshall Plexi Marshall JCM800 Vox AC30 Fender Twin Peavey 5150

[@CristianJailanderOrozco]

Agreed with this. And an honorable mention to Mark V or Dual Rec maybe.

[@guitarandgames1386]

I personally think instead of a vox ac30 either the ac15 or a Roland Jazz Chorus

[@pedrockjesus]

Dual rect too

[@NoCoverCharge]

i agree 100% on the JCM 800 It was the best amp i ever owned actually traded my 5150 In on it....i miss that amp and wish i still had it

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

Oh Line 6. The Blockbuster video of amps.

[@kevah94]

8:15 makes me wonder if you actually listened to Metallica or Pantera back then...

[@elvis_chen]

I have nothing to say about the list but the subject should be "The 5 most iconic Rock/Metal guitar amps".

[@pacedc1]

I thought the exact same. Probably not as much backlash if titled as rock/metal amps. I would like to see an iconic studio amp list.

[@Rubbmeuk]

Of the late 80s, early 90s, when the author was in a punk band?

[@maltekraft6186]

What about the Fender Bassman? It was the biggest influence on the Marshall Amps.

[@49short]

Thank you for giving love to the Line 6 Spider series. They really are very good solid state amps that are actually super versatile. I will always go to bat for the Spider

[@Shafferhead]

JCM800 Will never fade away. Its just that good.

[@thatdustinleblanc]

No dual rectifier​ eh?

[@BrandonKJohnson]

Thank you for not shunning the Line6 Spider series! These were GREAT to see when they came out! And still hold up in my opinion. The Spyder III 75watt combo and the Spyderjam . . . You can't beat!!

[@vyrus24]

same teenage experience with the 5150 combo! It was crazy stuff back then.

[@clintn6677]

You should have included a Mesa Mark series on that. I definitely agree on the JCM800.

[@spittle8]

Wow, what a great video. Bold but reasonable choices here. I remember being a teenaged guitarist in 2007 and scrimping my snow shoveling cash to get a Spider II combo amp. It was, at the time, a pretty big deal--although wiser guitarists decried its lifeless sound. I got a lot of great tones out of it but what made it a great entry-level amp was the wide variety of tones it gave me without any gymnastics. I instantly had a serviceable blues sound, hard rock, classic rock, clean, and metal tone. In the early 00's there was nothing like it. I graduated to vintage Fender and new Marshall stuff but the Spider whetted my appetite for a wide range of tones.

[@hansgrueber8169]

Roland JC-120

[@Matt-nb6wd]

Hans Grueber Agreed

[@andrewdomonic6603]

Nothing better for cleans.

[@Cam_B]

there's nothing "iconic" about this amp. Only use is for pedal platform, nothing else, which is a dime a dozen. It weighs a ton and you can only use one channel. Only thing it has going for it is the stereo chorus.

[@hansgrueber8169]

Well that's like...yer opinion man...

[@Cam_B]

Hans Grueber lol indeed it is

[@LouBass09]

I'd love to see a in depth review of your jcm 800. from clean to crunch and to max gain. JCM 800 are all very different as far is I know.

[@guitarcleveland]

I have a JCM800 2203 reissue from 2006. Man, it's the best sounding thing ever to me.

[@eddieroa]

Fender was making guitar amps before they made guitars. Marshall based his jtm45 off a bassman. Fender is king and anything else is ignorance. This man is ignorant.

[@Sven.Jeschke]

Nice list. I was actually surprised that you didn‘t include a Mesa Mark or Rectifier, but I totally agree that the JCM800 is indeed THE most iconic rock & metal amp. And I also agree with your thoughts about Line 6 and the Spider. Line 6‘ products were revolutionary in the early 2000s.

[@endoffate5475]

You never said that but your list is called "most iconic".. And Spider and Tiny terror are on that list but not dual rec..That means exactly that.

[@DaroZmith]

Line 6! I didn't know Spider series were noticed at the time! My first and actual Amp is an Spider III 120 w. Me and everybody at the bands loves it. Once I took it to a venue and the sound engineer liked it a lot. Even my mom love how it sounds. I don't know how Line 6 is making things now, or in the past, but that Amp... Oh sweet lord.

[@GearGasms]

Agree 100% on the Line6. I still have my AX2 that I bought in 99 and a handful of Spiders and the AMPLIFi. I have tube amps too but when I want something quick and easy and versatile, I’ll use the Line6.

[@cliftongardner4367]

Fluff, I respect your list because I am a grown man and can appreciate having alternate opinions discussed. Good on you, bro!

[@cliftongardner4367]

FWIW: I would say my list is Vox AC30, Fender Twin, Marshall JCM800, Peavey 5150/6505, and Fender Bassman.

[@jasonstallworth]

What?? No Peavey Bandit?? Dude that was one of my first amps! And I connect my Digitech RP10 to it! Actually played many shows with that setup! (This was many moons ago...)

[@SteveReynoldsGuitarist]

Ac30 and fender twin probably most iconic

[@joeymiller847]

i am really digging my 6505mh, and my brand new ,bought today horizon devices precision drive, thanks for the reviews fluff, i agree the sound of metal has gained something big with the 5150, and its the price, affordable. i think sometimes people forget that the amp is just a starting point for you and your tone, if you like hard rock/ metal i really don't think you'd be dissatisfied with that amp. makes me wonder what bands like metallica would of sounded like through that amp, not sure if they ever used it. pretty lucky to be in the 5150 generation. and the precision drive kicks ass. majorly happy i picked that up, sounds awesome through my 6505mh. wish you the best fluff

[@SgtPnkks]

the local metal bands here in my area back in the late 90s/early 00s you either saw a 5150 or a Triple XXX head on top of a 4x12... a few outliers running some kind of combo amp (either something like a line 6 spider, or some random clean combo with a pedal)

[@davehill9951]

Great review Ryan Bruce! I have owned 3 of your top 5. I still own a 50 watt JCM 800 that I bought in 1984, really beat up now and totally stock. don't mess with success! Still have a spider 2 in my practice room for when someone comes over to jam around. The Tiny Terror I bought a while back and have since traded it in for a Hughes And Kettner Grandmiester 40. Great piece of kit. I chose the granmiester over the EVH lbx lunchbox head only because it has no line out for recording. Keep up the great vids, this 61 year old from Canada says so! TC

[@kebbinator]

5. Mesa Dual Rec 4. Peavey 5150 3. The Marshall stack (JCM or Plexi) 2. Fender Twin 1. Vox AC30 I dare you to name amps more iconic and influential than those. The Tiny Terror started the mini amp craze, sure, but the AC30, Plexi and the Fender Twin started electric guitar music. Period. What those amps did for electric guitar music, the 5150 and Dual Rec (and to a degree the Marshall JCM line) did for heavy music.

[@caiusmadison2996]

Line6 anything is a damn joke. I remember being in a local music store for the unveiling of the first amps of this company. It was disappointing then, and they are still to this day, as digital is still not equivalent to analog. It never will be in terms of power and clarity. Simply not gonna be possible until a time where nobody plays guitar anymore, so it will be moot by then.

[@Cam_B]

Caius Madison You are totally wrong. They have come a long way with software modeling (i.e. Helix). They were the first to really revolutionize analog to digital sound in software modeling. Yeah sure, maybe a spider sounds like shit now but it was relevant in the 90s. Don't get me wrong, I will always prefer my valve amps to digital modeling BUT the new digital stuff from them sounds damn good today. Stop drinking the "line6 sucks" kool-aid, they are the best at what they do.

[@Dylannorquest]

65 Deluxe, Marshall JCM 800, Vox AC30, Fender Twin, some Fender Tweed that Joe B is probably making sweet blues love to as we speak.

[@AverageJoeHotRodShow]

Didn’t Fender make the first 100 watt amp for Dick Dale? Maybe I’m wrong there but I remember reading that somewhere.

[@kongandbasses8732]

Ampeg SVT, Peavey Vb3, Ampeg SVT 4 Pro, GallienKrueger 800 RB, GenzBenz GBE 1200 or 750. The 5 most iconic bass amps of all times, imho. Ymmv. And I know that there are more, like the Aquilar DB 750/751, Eden World Tour series, SWR SM 900/1500, and still more, but I wanted to mention the most iconic amps I own.

Really good video Fluff.....My other favorites: Mike Ness turned me on to his moded Fender Bassman black face but really needed a atinuater (not spelled correctly) and of course our favorite Mesa Boogie Dual Rec. Rev. F, another but a bit off the beaten path but huge sound I had for a while during the grunge years when I played with One Eyed Jacks in San Francisco was the Sunn)) Model T100 and Wow the power that amp had. Maybe do a video on not necessarily iconic but more underground production amplifiers pre boutique amps.

[@davidfuller581]

My list... Fender model 5F6 Bassman/Marshall JTM45 (nearly every modern high gain amp is a descendent of this), Marshall 1959SLP (no amp defined a sound as much as this), Marshall JMP 2203 (aka JCM800 2203, same amp but with different faceplates essentially) (the first amp to be designed to distort), Soldano SLO100 (the first amp to use multiple cascading gain stages), and maybe the Line 6 Axsys 212 (first real "modeling" amp).

[@yaguitar]

Definitely missing the Fender Twin and Vox AC 30 there, but good list!

[@kickinvideo333]

Very good & thoughtful list - more aptly titled the most important amps in modern guitar. (btw Sorry for the long post) I think you'd be surprised to find that the average Fender amp was more influential to amp gurus than the JCM 800. Mesa/Boogie, Soldano, Metaltronix, Rivera & more were known for modding (or queuing off of) Fender amps, as Fender was more affordable & accessible and the perfect pedal amp of the 80s. EVH loved his 6L6-based Soldano so much (an amp clearly derived from modded Fender circuitry) that Ed had Peavey build the 5150 from it. Peavey, of course, was a direct competitor to Fender in C&W and southern rock. As much as I love the JCM800, it really is a modded 2203/2204 (or 1959/1987 w/master volume). The JCM800 was always behind the curve and its many versions over the years were in response to the mods being done to JMPs & Fenders. The ultimate proof of this "catch-up" strategy are the Jubilees, which finally!! incorporated the prevailing amp mods of the day. Now, there's no question that Marshall had an advantage from a brand perspective, but most of us old shredders were past the Marshall name and were after killer tone & sustain that even stock JCMs were unable to achieve. Soldano, Metaltronix & the venerable ADA MP-1 captured that

[@freepadz6241]

Great great video. You are really in your element here. More like this.

[@monsterk7603]

Actually agree with everything on this list. I had a spider bank in the day for those exact reasons. Well done, Fluff!

[@GNRLKNB-kq9ge]

For me, it’s the JCM800, AC30, Mesa Boogie Dual rectifier, Twin Reverb, and the Plexi. (For the record I’m not talking about the most iconic amps I’m just listing my favourite ones). And I agree with you 100% on the JCM800, it’s extremely iconic. And I didn’t know any of those things that you said about the Plexi until I watched this video.

[@7strSlnger678]

I LOVED my Johnson Millenium back in the late 90s. I used to get compliments on my tone all the time...

[@18bagabooo]

as someone who was chasing JCM800 tone for years - built up a collection of pedals, multi FX's, peavey's etc... in the end I bought one... Most tripping thing about the amp is that makes a Stratocaster sound very much like an SG Gibson (AC/DC) - it's constantly tripping me out on "but how? it's not supposed to be like this". Other interesting fun fact about the JCM800 is that it can "crunch". Crunch out of this is just something else, is raw, it's like sharp, really high attack. Awesome amp only regret is I didn't buy one sooner.

My 1st amp was a rage 158 with the sharp peavy font. Pawn shop in 2003

[@JimijaymesProductions]

So many amps could be on the list I have to add two the Fender HRD and the VOX AC30, these are staples of backline for either side of the pond, for a while every british festival or TV appearance seemed to have an AC30 and it has been used on sessions of so many great rock records along with the Fender Deluxe Reverb. In Australia it seems so much backline is either a JCM800 or 900 and a Fender Hot Rod either Deville or Deluxe. They were so many peoples first proper amp and are great. I agree with the Marshalls and the 5150 whole heartedly.

JVM410H, 5150, Rockerverb, JVM205H, and Marshall Plexi. Maybe not the most iconic amps but those are my favorites. (Haven't owned a JVM205H or Rockerverb but I've been around em enough to know)

[@moparbryan]

I agree with all your choices and reasons I just would have added a #6 the dual rec has to be in there somewhere because there was a several years gap between the jcm and the 5150 that was filled by the dual rec it was in my opinion the first commercially available “modern high gain amp”. As a side note I remember being in American Music in fremont watching Jerry Cantrell demo one in the loud room it was very cool I don’t know if he brought it but I remember him being very impressed

[@seshFriend]

Solid list! Personally I would have fit a mesa boogie in there, either the dual rec or the Mark IIC+

[@TheSpineSplitter1990]

Ampeg VH140c, Peavey XL and the XXL, Marshall VS8100, Randall RG100 to name a few of my favorites.

[@bradhill935]

awseome list, i never looked at the JCM800 like that, tbh it's not my fav amp to play but i know alot of my fav songs have the 800 all over them...honorable mentions should be the Dual rec (no explanation required) the Diezel VH4 as i understand it was one of the 1st amps to have multiple channels & could pretty much do anything & was leagues ahead of it's competitors at the time (ok.ok, it's my fav amp..still to this day), & i'll add the current digital trend, i now use a kemper & it's definitely a game changer. Naturally the Vox's & Fenders deserve a spot on the list as well the legendary JC120

The Dual Rec, JC-120, Fender Twin, and AC30 would probably make up the top 10 IMO. Roland Cube in 10th?

Any thoughts about Wilder amps? I tried to find info about it, and there is hardly anything out there. Do I have a rare gem? Or is it nothing really special?

[@nathanjones7926]

Fender Blues Jr, Vox AC30, Marshall Plexi, Mesa Dual Rec & Orange Rockerverb for me 🤘

[@tristenscheffer6837]

Tiny head still shock people. I always gig with my triple rect and oversized 4X12. And one day I got a Jim Root terror used and had to play it that same night. And I got more complements using an amp that every one underestimates being a 15watt rather than what they expected with a 150watt head.

[@desireesmith1976]

Cool to know different guitar amps👍👍👍. Can you also do bass amps

[@Gritz666]

How about iconic rack preamps such as ADA MP-1, Rocktron Piranha, BOSS GX700, DigiTech 2120, Sansamp Tech 21 PSA1, Peavey Rockmaster, MESA/Boogie TriAxis ?

[@tinyb69]

I have to say that an AC-30 belongs on every Top 5 list. Also have to add a Fender Twin Reverb. There's a reason that universally across the world, rental backline equipment is standard issue with a Fender Twin Reverb. It has allowed musicians to play almost anywhere while just touring with a guitar and a pedal board. Everyone knows what they are going to get when they get to a gig. The Twin is loud enough to fill a hall without being mic'd up, is clean enough to play loud and clean, and accepts pedals as good as just about any other amp out there. And did I mention that they are virtually bombproof, and very straight forward to work on, if needed. For that reason, I'd have to put The Twin as #1.
