Recordings that define signature amp sounds

[cloy26]

What are so recordings that show each different amp's "sound"? ie. the "marshall" sound, the "fender" sound, the "vox" sound...

I know the marshall sound for sure, but what recordings highlight the classic fender sound? and classic vox? and even orange?

Metallica - Black album - Mesa (Rectos and Mark IV)
Queen - Innuendo - Vox
Meshuggah - Obzen - Line 6

 

[StefTD]

Vox-listen to some Queen, most of the time with a treble booster, but still, many indie bands use
fender and vox amps, but I can't recommend you something because I have no clue

Nevermore - Dead heart in a dead world - Mesa Dual Rectifier This is the best rectifier tone that has ever existed, fact

 

[cyril_v]

Joe Satriani - Time Machine - Peavey 5150
The Absence - Riders Of The Plague - Framus Cobra.

Is that on the live disc, the studio album or both?

 

[Vinny]

Vox by far has to go U2 (or the Beatles... )

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Peavey 5150 sound: Machine Head or anything Melodic Swedish Death Metal
Mesa Boogie Rectifier: anything Nickelback (although I believe some of them have Peavey XXX they define the Rectifier sound to me)
Mesa Boogie Mark IV: anything Dream Theater

I assume you're referring to the Satch reference. The song, off of the studio album. The tone I dreamed of for ages as I was hating on the cookie-cutter 5150 tone, I learned recently was in fact, a 5150.

On top of that: Symphony X - Paradise Lost - ENGL SE
And a much better example of Randall SS heads: The RG150ES was used on many early Death albums, namely Human.

 

[nwright]

The Crown's Deathrace King to me is quintessential raw 5150 tone (to my ears). I like 5150 tones on other albums BETTER, but on this album, it just sounds like what mine did in the room when I played.

Amon Amarth - Recto.
