Hey everyone! In this video, we'll be taking a look at the three most important guitar amps in rock history: the 59 Fender Tweed Bassman, the Marshall Plexi, and the 64 Vox AC30. These vintage amps have played a crucial role in shaping the sound of rock music and continue to be highly sought after by guitarists today.
The Fender Tweed Bassman, first introduced in the 1950s, is known for its rich, warm tone and powerful clean headroom. It has been used by some of the greatest guitarists of all time, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
The Marshall JTM45, also known as the Plexi, is a high-gain amp that became popular in the 1960s and 1970s. It's known for its thick, creamy tone and has been used by some of the biggest rock acts of all time, including Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and AC/DC.
Finally, the Vox AC30 is a classic British amp known for its bright, sparkling clean tone and ability to produce rich, harmonically complex overdrive. It has been used by countless guitarists, including Brian May of Queen and The Edge of U2.
In this video, we'll be taking a closer look at each of these amps, discussing their unique tonal characteristics and the role they have played in shaping the sound of rock music. If you're a guitar player or a fan of vintage amps, this video is definitely worth checking out!

Another channel I really enjoy. I have learned so much over the last four or five years from all of you guys.
Thanks for letting me be a part. Happy New Year, Rhett!
Timestamps please!! 🙏
love the content happy new year dude please do a vid on the Roland jc Amps love that 80s tears for fears tone
Happy New Year!
I live within 10 minutes of where Vox used to be in Dartford. It’s now a petrol station. Strange to think it’s where the Amps for the Beatles, Queen, U2, and the early Stones come from… AND the innovator of the Wah pedal. Strange how a little town in Kent could have so much influence on music around the world.
Alan, they also had a factory in Erith, i think the building is still there. greetings from a Northfleet boy.
Also strange how a port city on Northwest England called Liverpool would have so much influence on music around the world.
There’s a weird connection between Vox and petrol stations. Have you heard the story about what went in the ground to fill the void when they moved the petrol station up the road? Story is that The Shadows/Beatles/Stones etc used to go on tour with Vox gear (in the early 60’s, before flight cases) and come back with their amps all scuffed. They’d go back to Vox (who they were endorsees for), who would replace them and they’d just go in the shed out the back. Eventually, they ended up with this huge pile of scuffed, roadworn amps. Eventually, they were building on the site of a petrol station down the road and needed a load of backfill to fill in the void where the petrol tanks had been…. I think that would make an interesting episode of Time Team. “Here’s the Vox Superbeatle Paul McCartney played at Shea Stadium” etc.
I watched a great documentary about that factory. What a story and history they have! Happy new year my pommy brother

Never Heard of IT!
I'm blessed to have a 95% original tweed Bassman, that most assuredly *looks* its age. How I got it is one of the great pawn-shop find stories. I was in a pawn-shop - ironically about 150yards from the best music store for 100 miles in any direction - when I saw it. Couldn't believe my eyes. Also couldn't believe the price tag: $40...forty *Canadian* dollars. Walked around it, and saw that it was missing a power tube, missing one of the back panels, and missing one of the P10Rs, with an empty space where it was supposed to go. The proprietor must have heard me mumbling about the missing speaker, did some quick mental math, and offered me the amp for 3/4 of the listed price - $30. SOLD! I bit my tongue, plunked my money on the counter, calmly walked the amp to my car, and then drove out of town so fast, you'd think I had just sold baking soda as cocaine to the Hell's Angels and been found out. It'll be about 30 years I've owned it now. I've sunk a wee bit of money into it, in terms of getting someone to make the missing rear panel, buying power tubes and a 4th P10R, a little bit of recapping, and getting it tuned up, but the thirty bucks was well worth it. Decent amp!
My family had an antique shop. One day a guy brought in a Silvertone Twin Twelve tube amp, two 12" speakers with the head that stores in the speaker cab. It had a few bad tubes. He only wanted $5 for the amp. (beer money) I gave him the $5, there was a radio shop down the street that had the tubes... I eventually sold the amp, which was a mistake, I saw one just like it at a local guitar shop with a $1,200 price tag. I now own a Hot Rod Deluxe, which I would NEVER part with!
@@andyginterblues2961 I bought the Bassman in late 1992, when the internet was pretty much text-only, and there were considerably fewer wide-circulation guitar mags. I've had my tweed Princeton, that I bought for $50, since 1976 or so, when we had even less information available about gear, and there was really no such thing as "vintage", just "used" and "old". As more and more information about what's desirable, and also what it's worth, becomes available, "bargains" have turned into an endangered species, and pawn-shop prizes are relics of a long-gone past. Glad I was able to get mine while they were still getable. Hope others have had similar luck.
I’ll give ya 60 bucks cash for it. DOUBLE your money!
Amazing work as always Rhett. Amps come in all shapes and sizes for all styles and genres. The possibilities are endless, and the history behind each of them shaping music as we know it is beyond invaluable.
I played in several bands in college with guys that had Bassman and Vox amps. There weren't too many Marshall amps around as they cost a ton of bucks in the 70's. I remember being invited to play at a frat party with a couple of guys and the other guitarist had set up a very nice Vox AC-100, which was the first one I had ever seen. Had a real nice cabinet with 4 Celestions in it. I hauled in my modified circuit Fender Dual Showman with the dual 15" equipped cabinet and we proceeded to rock that party to the wee hours of the morning. Those were the good old days.
When discussing the genesis of the Marshall amp it is simply impossible not to mention the impact of Eric Clapton playing his 1960 Les Paul Standard through a 45-watt model 1962 Marshall 2x12 combo (JTM 45) with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers in 1966. It set the template for all that would follow. He, of course, would go on to 100-watt stacks with Cream.
And it is said that maybe he used a treble booster on this Marshall combo ^^
He was made famous with his 100 watt JTM 100 super leads with Cream, they changed Rock n Roll forever
The Beatles didn’t put Vox on the map - The Shadows did.
Their place in the canon of UK pop/rock music cannot be underestimated. A lot of those 60’s bands that became hugely influential’s home-grown guitar hero was Hank Marvin from the Shadows.
It was his needs that directly led to the development of the AC30 from the AC15.
(Needing to be clean at higher volumes and getting over the screaming for Cliff Richard, who he and the rest of the The Shadows were the backing band for).
Love the She’s So Heavy riff at 9:25. Probably my favorite Beatles riff and that’s coming from a Beatles fanatic.
Ironically the original was likely played through a Fender Twin Reverb. ☺️
Iconic riff indeed. A very heavy thrash/death metal band named 'Coroner' did a surprisingly good cover of that song back in the day. I've heard that riff being ripped off so many times it's insane!
Anybody here actually use their Fender Bassman for bass? I’m always afraid I’m going to wreck it .
Loved it! So good to see Zac there.
Leo descovered a need .... a Need For Tweed!
Leo fender basically invented the rock guitar amp...and then vox n.marshall copied him and ran with it...
No great amps would exist if it wasn't for Leo Fender.
True that brother
@rhettShull , You mentioned the AC-30 probably being your favorite amp of all time but I saw another video where you mentioned the Fender 57 Custom Deluxe as being your desert island amp...the one you'd want if you could only have 1. Is the AC the #1?
“Finding an amp that you can connect with…”. Yep. You said a mouthful there! I grew up with all these sounds, amps, realities, and can attest to your assertions. Great job! Lots of great info for anyone interested, willing to listen, consider, learn. All of these amps are CLASSICS! Each provides a different flavor and group of sensibilities. Matching the right amp to the means of usage is really important.
It’s really important to also note, that while there’s been lots of developments, new products over the intervening decades, there really hasn’t been any major, significant improvements. Aside from a few prohibitively expensive boutique amps, (Duncan’s, Dumbles, Jim Kelley, etc.), nothing significant. Most of the boutique amps are modified Fender, Marshall or Vox circuits. I’ve owned and played Boogie’s, Seymour Duncan, modeling amps, and they’re all very nice, useful. But I recently went back, and sought original Fender, Marshall, and Vox amps, simply because they are the baseline, foundations, of the great sounds and music I so enjoyed. I can hear the young folks Pooh pooing, rolling their eyes, dismissing my assertions. That’s fine! But until something truly better comes along, your just being played for a lot of money and inferior products.
I love my Boogie, my Duncan is truly forward looking as a piece of musical gear, but they have their shortcomings. The old Fender’s and Marshall’s, Vox’s have a proven record of functioning and producing truly memorable, musical sounds. That’s why we’re still using, discussing them today. If you’ve got a profiling or modeling amp, and that’s working for you, great! But for me, they’re pale imitators of older iterations, lacking the bloom, compression, complexity, dwell, dispersion of the original tube amps. It’s just not even close. Great job Rhett.
The one element that the modeling amps can never reproduce is chance of "Happy accidents" produced by the interaction of gear and player and the the spontaneous inspiration and joy these accidents produce, as Paul McCartney put it,the tube and analog gear is more " fuck -upable".Until programmers can find a way to introduce these random elements , the tube amp will rule.
Vox is my choice also. Psychologically, I know that part of it is the Beatles connection, (along with Brian May). Assuming the particular amp you've got is a good example of its type. I think the mental association people make with their guitar heroes can add a little inspiration for a player. It's part of the reason we choose the guitars and amps that we do, your psycholgical draw to it based on your own personal guitar heroes. But like I said, the amp itself has to be a good one of course, and not a lemon. (A dog is a dog, no matter what brand!) For the type of playing I do, Vox is the perfect amp. Thnaks for this video, Rhett. Good one!
Rhett- what type of headphones are you using? I assume some sort of monitors that also protect your ears from the Decibals?
It wasn't 3 amps - it was ONE. The Fender bassman. Vox and Marshall were both based on that design.
If Fender and Marshall could have all of today's technology. What amp would they have built?
New Year resolution for 2023 -
Do not start videos, nor sentences, with the word: "So".
Please.
Nicely put together as always, Rhett. Stuff like this gives me comfort now and I can enjoy vicariously I lived on Fort Myers Beach and lost everything I own in hurricane Ian, including 9 guitars and 5 amps. I'll rebuild, but some of these things, like the guitar I built in '89 and vintage amps that were 50+ years old are irreplaceable. Keep putting your content out so I can keep the dream alive.
A video on the three most iconic Amps shaping the modern guitar sound (last 20 years) would be interesting as well. Happy New Year! 🎉
No iconic amps have been made in past 20 yrs
Fender Blackface?
Where does the Fender Twin Reverb fit in this story? I feel like it's an honorable mention. This makes me wonder about other honorable mentions. Orange, Hi Watt, Laney, Peavey. Seems like it's fodder for a cool series of videos.
The AC30 burns through tubes and parts - it’s not reliable or solid.
But when it’s good it’s absolutely beautiful ❤
Amps! Love 'em. I found heaven when I bought an original 1960 Fender Concert-Amp. I consider it a 59 Bassman in brown tolex. It like the bassman has 4 10" speakers. It has the same output transformer as the 59 bassman. The main difference is the harmonic tremolo of the Concert. Dreamy and so satisfying tremolo. Not quite a '59 bassman, but is is darn close and can get that sound if you want it. But can also give you a trem sound that is maybe the best Fender ever put in an amp.
Great vid dude I love amps.
I’ve been watching zac for about a year I think maybe longer his passion for a telecaster convinced me to buy on they truly are great versatile guitars they plug into anything and sound great but back to the amps I don’t have a 30 but I have an ac15 they’re just so good I could never imagine how someone wouldn’t like that tone and that’s just with one speaker.
Zac referred to the alnico blue I don’t have that speaker mine is the Celestion greenback but none the less I love it
Agreed... I wish I could afford one of each but it's nice to know that they are still out there. Treat them well!!
I’m currently building a 59 tweed bassman. I’ve never played one before so I’m in for a surprise.
Ahhh ….yes. The Fender bassman.
That marshall is godly
JESUS CHRIST WHAT IS THAT TONE
I want one now 😆 great....
Rhett, you are a Happening on TH-cam of its own worth. I wish you a lot of Luck with your Studio and everythig that is going on right now.
Greetings from Germany
Great video Rhett! I loved your Hendrix jam! And you could olay more Beatles on that lush AC-30 all day and it would suit me!!! I've been following Zack for a while and I agree, his videos are full of incredible information! Keep it up, my friend! You are amazing in your content, delivery and musicianship!🎼🎶🎸
Happy New Year!
Merci for this. Only regret is that you mentioned Brian May for the Vox 30 without mentioning his inspiration, Rory Gallagher.
Ahh shit, now I'm gonna have to buy an AC 30
I agree with your choices!! They are the greatest of all time. The Fender deluxe Reverb is another great Amp. I found the amp that speaks best to me... theFriedman BE100. Thanks for sharing!!
and then, 5 years later. orange.......
Fender Twin Reverb.
Rhett those amps now have become iconic to a certain point ! But from the 80s onward you had the Mesa Boogies , the Silver Jubilee Marshals which is different from the past !
And the Soldano and the modeling amps ! So if you do a part two consideration should be given these.
Great video Rhett - enjoyed the background info - all great amps, but I’d go with the AC30 too 🤘
Cool video! I love a strat because every nuance of a player’s technique is out front. I’m thankful I learned on one.
Surprise: some AC 30 players with old AC 30 use the normal chanel with low or middle volume and boost the input massive with a pedal, way more musical and dynamic sound. Silver speakers are great or blue alnicos, everything else is not that sound.
I have three really good very different sounding old AC30s (63, 65, 75). My 63 is the best sounding amp I've ever played.
These amps are so heavy! Iwanted a light version, but the Morgan AC20 is far away, way to sharp and hard, not as warm as the real ones and you can't boost ist with a pedal. If you have any Ideas of a light AC 30 sounding amp…
Great work Rhett! Gear exists to inspire players, so yeah, the music, people, and culture that we know would be unrecognizable without the amps you mentioned. I refer all my students to your page to learn more about tone. You're killin it brother. Happy New Year!
I am a Fender amp guy Blues Jr, Pro Jr, Princeton, Deluxe Reverb a vintage Bassmen head and Vibrolux. I respect all the other amp makers but the Fender fits my style and ear. Happy NewYear!!
Thank you so much for the video! I‘m not a Good Guitar Player (only had lessions for 2years or so), but I bought myself a Vox AC30 C2 and I love that Amp. Although my Guitar is also Not the Perfect one (Yamaha Pacifica) I really like the Sound. And if I want to have a Marshall Kind of Sound, I take down the gain and add a Marshall Jackhammer JH-1 in Front of it. I don‘t think there‘s a better versatility for that Budget. The Vox is amazing. Thank you very much for that Video! There‘s rarely a modern Sound That amazes me, as the Sound of one of These 3 Amps! (Just Needed to think about the Video you did with Rick Beato about current Pop music 😉. You just reflected my feelings on Point. )
I share your connection with the VOX AC-30. I think it's one of the most incredible amps with the chime and jangle. :)
(Idle interest)
I recently bought a Morgan AC 20 in part because of your and Ricks video. I'm happy I did. Thanks Rhett... and Rick!
So basicly on your list Fender Bassman has 2 places
By the way, I got a AC15HW60, and I love it so much. Voxes are great !!
Also I highly recommend the reissue Vox AC 15 combo with the EF 86 and EL84 channels. The newer AC 30 Hardwire series are good but miss the mark of the original amps.
Once heard Brian May say in an interview that his use of a Vox AC30 and Treble booster came from a chance meeting with Rory Gallagher when May was a teenager. Him and his friend waited after seeing Rory play and asked him how he got his tone. Rory said it all came from his AC30 and boost pedal. May said he acquired both as quickly as his teenage funds would allow and never looked back.
I've been lucky enough to own to nice amps but the one that I really love is an Orange AD15. Definitely an unsung hero.
4:52 Marshall amp - doesn't go to 11😉😄 8:57 Cerwin-Vega: "Loud is beautiful… if it's clean" 10:50 Vox AC30 12:29 Beatles switched to AC50
That’s silly,these amps are iconic,but if they weren’t invented player’s would have been playing through whatever they could get? George Harrison used a Gibson Les Paul amp,you could have used ampeg, standell, Rickenbacker, in England you had Selmer Truevoice, WEM?
I love Steve Fryette’s old VHT Pittbull 45’s. I’m interested in your thoughts as I hear it described as a cross between a Vox and a Marshall. I feel it is a Vox with amazing gain and tonal range. I’d love to hear your opinion.
Love your channel but you just CANNOT talk about AC30s without talking about Rory Gallagher!!!
If only kids nowdays spent similar money on their amps vs their 4000 USD pedalboards into 500 usd amps.
Ac 30 is an amp you might stick with forever coz sounds just perfect. Is the best amplifier in the vox world and is way much cheaper than Marshall’s and fenders best amps.
And yes, I am a Vox user.
But if you live in Nebraska be ready to buy multiple amps or take long trips for amp services, “technicians” here will fuck your amp up.
Great to see you give Townshend recognition for his contributions. He pressured Jim Marshall to make the amp louder so he could be heard above Moon.
Imagine the only way to get any dirt was to play at 10!
And the world is 1950's America...think "Earth Angel" and the world Marty McFly visited in Back to the Future.
The whole street, hearing the likes of Clapton playing at 10, must have had moments aplenty like Marty McFly experienced when he tried to rock out and shred to a 50's audience! If not his own audiences, surely the captive audiences in his building/street!🤣
Great video. I’m beginning to love amps, too thanks to you bro.
Can you do a part 2 that covers: 1. Representative songs or albums for each of the three amps and 2. Comparisons of the modern versions (and maybe budget versions also) since the avg joe like myself can’t find or afford the vintage ones?
Thank you
Any chance you could make Kemper profiles of these amps? Would love to have them 😎
I've owned a fair few Vox amps from the early 60s. My favourite's were a black panel 4 input AC30 and a AC15 twin (2×12). Both had the EF86 tube. I did swap out the ceramic Celestions in the AC15 for a pair of regular alnico blues. It sang even sweeter.
After many trades starting with a blues Jr. I landed on a AC15C1X Blue. Love it. Beast of an amp, not cheap build like fender's. They are heavy af though for 15watt, feels double the weight of a BJR.
Yeah, Zach is an amazing guy. I'm absolutely subscribed to his channel. Very knowledgeable and down to earth. Also, yeah, that AC30 is killer, I just can't do that weight though. But man it's killer
I am so glad that I could buy back my AC30. I'd sell it never again.
Thanks for the video.
Would love to see an Ampeg video used for guitar. Amazing Amp for guitar and also bass. The v4 sounds huge
Hey Rhett, Love your Channel and I know you’re busy - Please do a vid about the Vox ac30 & Tweed Deluxe dual rig. Thanks !
Curious, Rhett, that you would chose to play one of the Beatles songs recorded using a silverface Fender Twin Reverb rather than an AC30. Enjoyed the video, as always.
I recall seeing Johnny Winter playing one of his Firebirds thru a Fender Bassman...trebel was turned way up and I didnt see any pedals. Johnny sounded friggin awesome !
Gigging in the 80's with my Fender Twin was pure joy. I cried for two days when I had to sell it. Love your videos Rhett.
But having to carry it is no joy at all... 😅
Have an AC-15C1. Agree if I could only have one amp it would be a VOX. Bought mine to go with my Ric 660-12. If you own a Ric you need a vox amp to go with it. Use it in the pit along with a Fender acoustisonic for acoustic work. Great vid kiddo. Love the history you and 5-watt do. Look forward to more vids in the new year. BTW I'm lucky to be about an hour away from Sweetwater. Love going there just to hang out and play stuff. Great people and service.
Happy New Year and thanks for yet again another great video! I too find the AC30 hard to beat. The funny thing is that it's Top Boost channel preamp is almost identical to the 5F6A/JTM45 circuit (literally a few component values and one wire needs to be changed, topology is the same). So all 3 of the greatest amps ever have pretty much the same preamps. Power amps and transformers differ (and so do the speakers usually used with either of them) a lot so they end up sounding very different still.
Don't forget that Marshall started from copying the circuit of a 59 bassman 4x10 combo.
Hey Rhett. You forgot my beloved Twin Reverb. Michael Bloomfield and even The Beatles said hi.
Good stuff, Rhett. I love your videos. Ever looking for a partner to jam with, lmk. I'm up in Marietta.
Of course a bass amp would make an amazing guitar amp. And of course a drummer would make an amazing guitar amp. Good rock n' roll is full of contradictions.
Great video! I am an amp head as well... ever since I was a teenager when I grabbed some friend's crappy department store guitar with 3-4 strings at a party, plugged it into an amp that roared and amazed my friends haha! Happy New Year Rhett.
Hey, what about Tom Scholz' Rockman, maybe special mention?
Saw Billy Gibbons being praised for his playing, and guitar and song. His response, “and when it’s Louuud…” with an assuring nod that said, THAT’s the Good stuff. When it hits your bones just right, it addictive to hear. To have your own hands making those sounds is such an uplifting thing. I’ll never stop playing. Thanks Rhett 🤙🤙
This was such a good, concise look at 3 legendary amps. I also really loved that little snippet of "Bad", which is my favorite U2 song and a riff that I've been practicing for years! The "Tie Your Mother Down" riff was well done too! I currently play through a Fender Blues Jr. that sounds like a Vox AC15 and I love it.
4:09 I don't recognize this man- but I recognize that shelf behind him- why? Is that in Josh Smith's office? Idk but someone I watch does their thing in front of those shelves- or some that look remarkably like those anyway. It's gotta be the same shelf- I recognize some of the doo dads on it.
#4: Fender Deluxe
#5: Peavey Decade (sorry, I couldn’t resist! 😂)
🤌
A 1966 JTM50t combo is my lifer amp. Its never for sale or trade
I have a vibrolux and an ac30, but I still haven't played many Marshalls in my life.
Really nice look at these iconic amps, Rhett. Would love to see you do a comparo with the new Quilter Superblocks that emulate these same amps. I have the UK and love it, but have no idea how close it really comes with the Marshall and Vox emulations. Happy New Year!
I haven't read all of the comments, so I don't know if anybody else commented on this, but how could you not include the Fender Twin Reverb (and in the same category the Showman, and Super Reverb). So many iconic sounds from these amps like the California surf sounds (Beach Boys, etc.). In my opinion just as iconic as the three amps in this video.
Fascinating video and I agree that these three amps fundamentally changed the direction of popular music. That got me thinking of other examples and the one which leapt out is Laney primarily because on Tony Iommi. As I heard someone say, we can argue about whether heavy metal originated before Black Sabbath but no one can argue that it happened after them. I think other such as Boogie, 5150 and maybe Soldano advanced what was there but I don't think they had such a revolutionary effect. But as a sleeper we should also mention WEM. Page used them on the early days of Led Zep and who knows where we would be without that.
Hey, not guitar related but i like the watch, what ya wearing? Looks like a shinola, very similar to my Tissot Seastar. If so those shinolas are great watches.
An electric guitar and the amplifier it's plugged into form a system of connected parts that work synergistically together.
Trying to talk myself out of buying a vox AC15 and you're not helping lol
hahhh all i need is a tasty waveform , a cool fuzz, and im fine haahhh Righteous Bucks!
I have a Vox amp with grey alnico speakers (says Vox) and 6 input channels
Saw Vic Flick on Pawn Stars he was selling one of his old Fender Strats!
I started out as an acoustic rocker back in the 70's. When I started getting seriously into electric guitar, a really experienced player educated me that an electric guitar is only half of the instrument It is only a complete instrument when plugged into its other half, the amp. I still firmly believe that to this day. Great video!.
I use a handwired Vox AC30 or AC4 depending on the volume needed. To me, Vox is the most versatile of these 3 amps. I can get any sound I want, including a nice jazz sound from the normal channel.
Of the 3 featured I agree, I use an AC4HW (previously owned a 60’s ac30) with a clean boost Fredric Effects Klone it’s fantastic.
Do you host the complete tracks for these videos anywhere? I can't tell if it's just a section looped or not, but that version of Born Under a Bad Sign sounds utterly fantastic!
An occasional complete cover tune used in other videos would be a fun series.
What about Hiwatt? No less legendary!
