Custom '59^™

Three of the most famous guitar amps of all time, meticulously and faithfully modeled in one Digital Performer plug-in.

Fender^® Bassman^®

Originally designed for the Fender Precision Bass^®, the Fender Bassman amp was quickly adopted by guitarists and eventually became perhaps the most famous and sought after guitar amp of all time. With its classic 4x10 design (four ten-inch speakers) and vintage lacquered tweed cover, the Bassman sound is a bona fide icon among guitar tones and a must-have for any tone aficionado.

Marshall^® JTM45^®

Introduced in the early 1960's, the Marshall JTM45 was essentially a clone of the Fender Bassman. Made popular by Eric Clapton, the so-called "Bluesbreaker" amp is named after Clapton's band at the time, in which he popularized the now signature sound of playing a Les Paul through the heavily distorted JTM45. Ever since, the JTM45 has been ensconced in the pantheon of world-famous guitar amplifiers.

Marshall^® JCM800^®

As guitar tones evolved during the '60s and '70s, the hunger among guitarists for more power became insatiable. By the early '80s, Marshall had developed the JCM800 to satisfy this craving, with higher power tubes and a power boost from 50 to 100 watts. The result? Perhaps the most widely recognized guitar tones of all time.
