# Orange Amps

Orange Amps is an English amplifier manufacturing company, noted for their products' distinctive sound and the bright orange Tolex-like covering of their heads and speaker cabinets. The company was founded in 1968 by Cliff Cooper, who decided to build his own amplifiers when vendors refused to supply his West End musical instrument store, Orange Store, due to Cooper's youth and countercultural image. Cooper also founded related companies, including the Orange record label in 1969.
The brand's early amps were adopted by Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac and were used on Stevie Wonder's Superstition, which brought Orange worldwide recognition. The brand's "Pics Only" models—nicknamed for their use of symbols rather than text on their control panels—were released in the early 1970s to much success and established a signature "Orange sound." However, large-scale production of Orange Amps ceased in 1978 and Cooper spent the '80s building and selling amps in limited numbers. After a line of reissue models licensed by Gibson in the early '90s proved unsuccessful, Cooper regained control of the brand and found new success with the 1998 release of the AD30, with notable fans like Jimmy Page. In 2003, Orange released the Rockerverb series, which has become a favorite amp among heavy metal guitarists.

## Quotes about Orange Amps

* By the early 1970s, Orange amplifiers were making waves with their distinctive vintage aesthetic, rugged design, and iconic British tone. They've since earned a strong reputation among rock and indie players, not just in their native U.K. but all over the world, helped by famous proponents including Stevie Wonder and Jimmy Page. [...] Across its comprehensive range of guitar and bass amps, Orange is consistent in its hand-built quality and vintage style that endears it to its legions of fans. While the brand is undoubtedly successful, you get the feeling that each product is made with care as a bespoke piece of electrical engineering that is relatively simple in its construction but highly effective in its performance.
** Luke Mitchell of SlashGear (October 9, 2023)
* Orange guitar amps are the most distinctive in the business, by both sight and sound.

# Mesa/Boogie

Mesa/Boogie (also known as Mesa Engineering) is an American company in Petaluma, California, that manufactures amplifiers and other accessories for guitars and basses. It has been in operation since 1969.
Mesa was started by Randall Smith as a small repair shop which modified Fender amplifiers, particularly the diminutive Fender Princeton. Smith's modifications gave the small amps much more input gain, making them much louder as well as creating a high-gain, distorted guitar tone. Prominent early customers included Carlos Santana and Keith Richards and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones. Exposure from these top players helped to establish Mesa/Boogie's position on the market, and it is frequently referred to as the first manufacturer of boutique amplifiers.

## Quotes about Mesa/Boogie

* One early proponent of [Randall] Smith's work [in manufacturing guitar amplifiers] was counterculture legend Carlos Santana, a relationship that endures to this day. Anyone who has heard [Carlos] Santana's singing sustains and harmonically-rich driven tone will be familiar with the sound of a Mesa/Boogie amplifier. However, these are far from a one-trick pony. They are renowned for their exceptional build quality and rich sounds that cover a broad sonic spectrum. That helped to set a new standard in the world of high-gain amplification, originally saturated by British brands.
** Luke Mitchell of SlashGear (October 9, 2023)
* Mesa/Boogies do tend to be rather bewildering in both their variety and complexity - and are often misunderstood.

# Mesa/Boogie Rectifier

The Mesa/Boogie Rectifier series is a line of guitar amplifiers made by California-based manufacturer Mesa/Boogie. Introduced in 1992, the line's first model was the Dual Rectifier, which is often described as the definitive amp of rock music in the 1990s for its widespread use across multiple rock genres in the decade after its release. The Dual Rectifier, alongside its more powerful sibling the Triple Rectifier, is characterized by its "raw, aggressive bass-heavy" tone, as well as its industrial aesthetic, and its success led to Mesa/Boogie releasing an extensive line of Rectifier-branded amps.

## Quotes about the Mesa/Boogie Rectifier

* From its beginnings in 1970, Mesa/Boogie was beloved for its small-but-powerful Mark series amps; in 1989, however, the company decided to take its game to a new audience. The result was the Rectifier range of bigger and beefier Dual and Triple Rectifier amps. Since then, the Dual Rectifier has become one of the most popular rock amps on the planet.
** Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020)
* The Multi-Watt Dual (and indeed Triple) Rectifiers neatly encompass all that is great about the Mesa/Boogie heritage.
** Don Stick of MusicRadar (April 26, 2019) MusicRadar
* It's an absolute beast of an amp, featuring three channels and some serious tone-shaping options.
** David Slavković of Ultimate-Guitar (July 23, 2021)
* Inspired by amps like Soldano’s SLO (itself derived from earlier Mark Series Boogies) the bigger, brasher Rectifier range redefined high gain in the ‘90s, inspiring a wall-of-sound approach that dominated guitar music for over a decade.
** Don Stick of MusicRadar (April 26, 2019) MusicRadar
* There's probably not a genre that Dual Rectifier can't handle.

# Fender Twin

The Fender Twin and Twin Reverb are guitar amplifiers made by Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. The Twin was introduced in 1952, two years before Fender began selling Stratocaster electric guitars. The amps are known for their characteristically clean tone.
Many notable musicians have used Fender Twin amplifiers, including Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, George Tomsco of The Fireballs, Mike Oldfield, The Beatles (1968 Twin Reverb amps using the AC568 circuit), Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, Danny Kirwan, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, Jerry Garcia of Grateful Dead, Eric Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, Junior Brown, Kurt Cobain and Tommy Emmanuel.

## Quotes about the Fender Twin

* There aren’t many guitarists out there who haven’t drooled at the thought of owning a proper Twin.
** Chris Corfield of Guitar World
* Beloved of Keith Richards and erm, Steven Seagal amongst many others, Fender’s 1950s Tweed Twins are the connoisseur’s choice: loud, creamy and sophisticated.
** Chris Vinnicombe of MusicRadar (July 26, 2010)
* Throughout the decades, these sought-after tone machines have turned up in the rigs of countless guitarists. [...] The Fender Twin Reverb is considered a standard model for players seeking a clean sound, and it is especially known for the quality of its built-in spring reverb.
** Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020)
* If you can plug your guitar into an amp and make it sound good, that’s what it’s all about. The amp I really enjoy playing, especially when I’m traveling, is the Fender ’65 Twin Reverb. It’s got everything you need for live playing and it has great tone. That amp just works for me and it’s real trustworthy. When I travel on the road, I do use a little digital delay and maybe a little chorus, but I just like the sound of the guitar and playing something that I think people will appreciate and understand.
** James Burton, as quoted by Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020)
* Notable not only as one of the first high-powered amplifiers, Fender’s tweed Twin of 1958 is also a gutsy tone monster.
** Dave Hunter of Vintage Guitar
# Vox (company)

Vox is a British musical equipment manufacturer founded in 1957 by Thomas Walter Jennings in Dartford, Kent, England. The company is most famous for making the Vox AC30 guitar amplifier, used by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, Queen, Dire Straits, U2, and Radiohead; the Vox Continental electric organ, the Vox wah-wah pedal used by Jimi Hendrix, and a series of innovative electric guitars and bass guitars. Since 1992, Vox has been owned by the Japanese electronics firm Korg.

## Quotes about Vox

* Vox amplifiers are synonymous with the British Invasion sound and are favored for their distinct tone and retro appearance. They are recognizable for their gold trim, lattice tweed speaker cloth, and white piping, and the brand has made significant contributions to rock and pop music, as used by the likes of Queen's Brian May, U2's The Edge, and members of Foo Fighters, to name a few.
** Luke Mitchell of SlashGear (October 9, 2023)
* Although Vox typically conjures up images of ‘60s pop and retro jangle, plenty of raunchy blues tones on Brian Jones-era Rolling Stones records came courtesy of an AC15, while an AC30 in combination with a Dallas Rangemaster treble booster was the mainstay of Rory Gallagher’s fiery signature sound.
** Chris Vinnicombe of MusicRadar (July 26, 2010)
# Vox AC30

The Vox AC30 is a guitar amplifier manufactured by Vox. It was introduced in 1958 to meet the growing demand for louder amplifiers. Characterised by its "jangly" high-end sound it has become widely recognized by British musicians and others, such as George Harrison and John Lennon of the Beatles, Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones, Brian May of Queen, Dave Davies of the Kinks and Hank Marvin.

## Quotes about the Vox AC30

* [Vox's] most successful amplifier is the AC30 combo, which provides 30 watts of power via two 2x12 Celestion Greenback speakers. Despite its compact size, this all-valve unit is surprisingly powerful and can be seen gracing the backlines of some of the world's largest stages.

# Fender Bassman

The Fender Bassman is a series of bass amplifiers introduced by Fender during 1952. Initially intended to amplify bass guitars, musicians used the 5B6 Bassman to amplify other instruments, including electric guitars, harmonicas, and pedal steel guitars. Besides being a popular and important amplifier in its own right, the Bassman also became the foundation on which Marshall and other companies built their high-gain tube amplifiers.

## Quotes about the Fender Bassman

* The list of musicians who are (or who have been) in love with their vintage Fender Bassman amps - especially the 4x10 tweed variety made between 1957 and 1960 - is pretty much endless. Just for starters (past and present), there's Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, Mike Campbell, Mike Bloomfield, Jimmie Vaughan, John Fogerty, Josh Homme, Brian Setzer, the guy up the street from me... Again, this is just the tip of the iceberg, people. After all, many professional music industry analysts have heralded Fifties 4×10 Bassman amps as the greatest amps - ever.
** Damian Fanelli of Guitar World (April 24, 2020)
* It’s no secret that one of the greatest and most influential electric guitar amplifier designs in history began life intended as a companion to Fender’s Precision Bass. But it didn’t take long for guitar players to get wise to the fact that the 4 x 10 Tweed Bassman combo of the late 1950s sounded truly glorious in combination with their six-string electric of choice. Indeed, the Bassman’s place in the history of rock ‘n’ roll was further cemented when Jim Marshall cloned the 5F6A circuit with British components and created the JTM45, which, with a few tweaks, would provide Eric Clapton with the firepower to define the sound of British electric blues in 1966.

# Fender Deluxe Reverb

The Fender Deluxe Reverb is a guitar amplifier made by the Fender Electric Instrument Company and its successors. It was first introduced in 1963 by incorporating an onboard spring reverb tank to the newly redesigned Fender Deluxe amplifier.

## Quotes about the Fender Deluxe Reverb

* One of the most popular amplifiers ever made, the original Fender ‘65 Deluxe Reverb has appeared on countless records over the years. It’s an iconic amplifier [but] vintage versions are prohibitively expensive.
** Daryl Robertson of Guitar World (April 5, 2023)
* Amongst the most-recorded studio amps in history, the Deluxe Reverb’s modest power stage is perfect for driving hard on club stages, but deceptively loud nonetheless. Guaranteed to win a MusicRadar office straw poll regarding amps most likely to induce misty-eyed GAS symptoms, Deluxes are just plain desirable. And with street prices for the reissue under £900 at the time of writing, the great news is that it’s one of the most affordable amps.
** Chris Vinnicombe of MusicRadar (July 26, 2010)
* With a pair of 6V6 tubes in its power amp, it brings those traditional American tones, perfectly suited for blues and jazz.
** David Slavković of Ultimate-Guitar (Jul 23, 2021)

* It has always been a most arduous task to govern distant provinces, with even a tolerable appearance of justice.
* Arbitrary taxation is plunder authorized by law.
* The idea of governing provinces and colonies by force is visionary and chimerical. The experiment has often been tried, and it has never succeeded. It ends infallibly in the ruin of one country or the other.

* We, the undersigned, visitors to Bermuda, venture respectfully to express the opinion that the admission of automobiles to the island would alter the whole character of the place, in a way which would seem to us very serious indeed. The island now attracts visitors in considerable numbers because of the quiet and dignified simplicity of its life. … It would, in our opinion, be a fatal error to attract to Bermuda the extravagant and sporting set who have made so many other places of pleasure entirely intolerable to persons of taste and cultivation.
