These British amps alone cover a vast territory from clean to high-gain that will keep you inspired for years to come.

Time Machine
Joe hops in a time machine and returns to the 1950s and '60s with Tone Models based on 9 classic Fender amps from his private collection, including an original '53 Tweed Deluxe, which he has owned and used on almost every album since the early '90s.
Joe’s layered rhythm guitar tracks often feature a variety of American-style amplifiers. Sparing no expense, he chose 9 of his favorite Fender amplifiers featuring captures based on Fender’s Hand-wired series, including a '64 Custom Princeton Reverb®, '64 Custom Deluxe Reverb®, '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb® and a '57 Deluxe® with an Alnico Cream Celestion speaker.
Also included are captures of late '60s reissue amps: a '68 Custom Pro Reverb™, '68 Custom Princeton® Reverb, '65 Princeton® Reverb and a '68 Custom Vibro Champ® Reverb.
In addition to several bell-like clean captures, many amps were turned up to produce thick, throaty crunch tones perfect for rhythm tracks or as the ideal “edge-of-breakup” platform for your favorite boost and overdrive pedals.

Beyond the Supernova
Joe could have stopped at the Fender and Marshall captures, but being “The Extremist,” Joe wanted to include Tone Models based on several amps that have been part of his touring and studio work. He included his trusty Peavey 5150®, a staple for almost every album. Joe brings his SLO-30, Friedman Small Box, and newer 5150III models for high-gain fanatics. Joe has been using his Wells amp (only five made) since '91 and includes this rare amp, a blend of VOX, Fender and Marshall-style circuits. To top off the list of clean tones, there are captures of Joe’s Hiwatt and Roland Jazz Chorus that have been vital to Joe’s album work.
