The unmistakable sound of surf guitar was created by Dick Dale’s Fender stratocaster and a Fender Showman amp. I’m really looking forward to your comments, so let me know which songs and amps you would include in this list. I was asked to write a post for, so I thought I’d write about some famous songs and amplifiers. Hey everyone! Ben Fargen here from Fargen Custom Amps & Mods. In this article, Ben Fargen picks a Top 10 list of legendary songs that were greatly shaped by the guitar amp used to record them. Notes: Ernie Ball slinky strings are popular amongst the pro's.The importance of the choice of guitar amp in a recording session can’t be underestimated. Notes: The dunlop tortex picks are probably the most popular pick used amongst guitar players. Notes: A popular phase pedal used by many.Įlectro-Harmonix Big Muff distortion sustainer pedal: Notes:The digi whammy is quite popular amongst pros, especially the ones that can shred. Notes: An interesting effect used by many of the guitar greats. Notes: One of the most popular delay pedals. Notes: Appears to be one of the most commonly used tuners as far as pedal tuners go (we'll checkout rackmount tuners also). It gives you that classic wah sound, and almost all the pro's have one. You need this if you want to be a rock god.ĭunlop Crybaby Wah pedal (all varieties): Notes: This is one of the most used guitar cabs out there. Notes: The Marshall JCM heads are very popular amongst the pros. Often used by the pro's for clean sounds. I'm dying to get one - pick one up if you want a classic. Notes: The Vox AC30 appears to be one of the most used amps of the pros. The nice thing about it is that you need to use it with pedals since it is only a single channel (no distortion channel aside from tube overdrive). It was really loud! I actually played a whole show with the head on 1 (would have sounded a lot better on 10 :) though) !!! This or the 1959SLP is used by quite a few pros. Notes: This was the first Marshall tube head I got. Notes: One of the most popular tele's out there. Notes: The SG is pretty popular, with the SG standard being one of the more popular models.įender American Vintage '52 Butterscotch Blonde Telecaster: Notes: I think the question is what famous player doesn't own a ES-335? Notes: They wouldn't have packaged a toy Gibson Les Paul with the Guitar Hero game if it wasn't THE guitar of the rock gods.
