Picking the PERFECT Amp for Your Pedals

Today, I’m shooting out the three GOLD STANDARD pedal platform amplifiers: a 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb (6V6), 1969 Marshall Superlead 100 (EL34), and a mid-90’s Vox AC30 (EL84), along with three GOLD STANDARD drive pedals: Marshall Blues Breaker (low gain), Ibanez TS-10 (mid gain), ’85 ProCo Rat (high gain) - all in attempt to see which pairings work BEST with all the amps set clean and the pedals doing all the work. Please share with us your favorite amp pedal combos in the comments section! And, remember, this ultimately comes down to taste; however, I’ll share what I’m hearing in the room and the things you should consider when determining possible clean amp and pedal combinations.
