Location: Snåsa, Norway | I've got a Digitech RP50 that simulates different vintage amps. Heres the list of amp names used by Digitech:
Blackface
Boutique
Rectifier
Hot Rod
Classic Tweed
British Combo
Clean Tube
British Stack
High Gain tube amp
I wonder if anyone knows more specific what different amps this is supposed to sound like. Tweed and Blackface are obviously classic Fenders, and I suspect British Combo and Stack to be Marshalls, but I really don't know enough about different amps and their sound to find out more. |

Location: Midland, MI | I'd guess:
* Blackface == Fender from the blackface era
* Recitfier == Some Mesa-Boogie or other...probably a dual rectifier
* Hot Rod == I would guess the Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
* Classic Tweed == Old Fender Twin
* British Combo == Marshall 'bluesbreaker', maybe a Vox
* British Stack == Marshall 100w head and 4x12 stack |

| British combo is almost always a Vox AC30 without the top boost.
Modern High Gain is often Soldano
Boutique is a Roland name for a Matchless.
Don't know what Clean Tube might be. |

Although you wouldn't think it a nasendoscopy is way worse. I've just gone from every 8 weeks to every 12 weeks and my nose has been partying ever since it got the news. Really embarrassing when it starts whistling in the supermarket. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | "Blackface" is usually Fender Deluxe Reverb. "Classic Tweed" in my experience, is Fender Bassman. "British Combo" is as Schroeder says, Vox AC30, but with or without Top Boost seems to depend on the amp model maker. Roland's model is WITH Top Boost.
"Clean Tube"...probably not a specific amp, just a model for a tube amp without enough gain for the tubes to be put into overdrive.

Location: Snåsa, Norway | Thanks for the replies! Apart for the colonoscopy/nasendoscopy comparison, I find them helpful.
All of them amps in a small box for just $150 (gear prices are stiffer in Norway than the US)! I guess it's not exactly the same as the real thing, though. I'm no electric player, but t's fun to play around with different sounds and effects from time to time, and I feel I can get some good sound out of this, at least with headphones. My old Fender Sidekick is not working well anymore, so everything I send through it sounds crappy. :mad: |

| I never noticed the Roland top boost thing. I've been playing a Roland VGA-5 for best part of a decade. I only ever use the Fender twin and the Matchless with and without boost and the Roland JC. I must experiment more. The Matchless sound is fantastic - do they still make the real thing? It seems a long long time since I saw one advertised. |
