Tim Plains Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Just thinking of a guitar and an amp - what goes perfectly together? When I think Gibson Les Paul, I think Marshall stack. How about every other Gibson guitar, or what about Fender and the other guitars out there? What do you think of as their perfect amp pairing?

NeoConMan Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 When I started collecting gear, this is what I was after. The 'basics' of rock and blues, so to speak. Should cover most everything I play with ease. Is there bigger, better, badder, vintage, more expensive stuff out there? Sure, but this is a damned good start.

You can spend more money but who wants to do that when have a great setup. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCI Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 What Jesse said about P90s and the other said about Les Pauls and Marshalls. I have a love/hate relationship with my Fender Blues Junior. Since it's a master volume amp, I feel it should be able to get a great heavy metal sound... which it does not. However, with just a touch of overdrive, it sound beautiful with both my 57 RI Strat and 52 RI Tele. It also does well with a clean to slightly overdriven sound with my LP, but it just sings with the Fender guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 ... or what about Fender and the other guitars out there? In my book, humbucking pickups don't sound good through Fender amps - unless you want a real clean sound. I don't want a clean sound from the humbuckers, so my Gibsons generally go through a Marshall amp - not a Fender. Fender guitars through Fender amps in my rig - beautiful clean sounds and the TS-9 for that SRV type thang. The only exception, in the case of my own gear, is a '70 Fender Princeton (non reverb) that sounds amazing on 10 with a Les Paul - a killer Chicago type blues tone.

I usually keep the master volume on 2. I get a hint of crunch through my Fulltone OCD. I am pretty happy with my setup right now. I might do a speaker swap and a reverb tank swap. A lot of people probably think it is a waste to modify these amps. I think it is fun to tweak an amp. Keeps me busy. You also learn a ton from modifying them.

mcmurray Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 A Les Paul paired with a Triple Rectifier is a match made in heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 The obvious has been stated already - Les Paul + Marshall I think anything thru some Dumble amps - I say "some" because it seems that all of his amps are a little different base upon who he was building it for. I've been investigating Train Wreck amps too - Fender Tele + Train Wreck = cool tone Check out some Brad Paisley work (he uses Dr. Z too so you have to figure out which is which) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie brown Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yeah, LP's with Marshall amps are great! That's One of my favorite combinations. But, Anything with a "Blackface" Fender Twin Reverb, Deluxe Reverb, or Vox AC-30TB works really well, too! CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to find something without a whole ****-ton of knobs and switches, and from what I can gather by reading this thread, the tone is mighty awesome. Now I'm curious.
