Best selling amplifier in history?

[bloomz]

My guess it is the Deluxe Reverb.

 

[marshman]

According to Fender, it is the Hot Rod Deluxe.

 

[Tele-beeb]

My guess for the top five or so would all have Peavey on the badge...

 

[jwp2]

Either the Fender Twin Reverb or the Champ/VibroChamp.

 

[Prison Rodeo]

Peavey Backstage? Fender Frontman 15/25?

Or maybe the Pignose?

 

[TeleToTheRain]

Honeytone

 

[thinling]

Peavey Bandit?

 

[stnmtthw]

All I know is that every guitar player I know has either a Blues Jr or a Line 6 Spyder.

 

[BigDaddyLH]

While we are at it, what about the best selling electric guitar of all time?

 

[tresspassor]

My guesses:
SS Amp - Fender Frontman series
Tube amp - Fender Hot Rod / Blues Deluxe / Deville series
Electric guitar - Fender Squier

I've never owned either. I don't believe we've met. ;-) CS

My guess for the top five or so would all have Peavey on the badge...

Yep, and the top two would probably be 15 watts with an 8" speaker, and sell for around $100.

I'd heard it was the Hot Rod Deluxe.

I'd heard it was the Hot Rod Deluxe.

I think that may be true for Fender, but if I had to put money on it I'd have to say one of the little Peavey practice amps for overall sales.

 

[trev333]

in history?..... my guess would be the Megaphone.... they must have sold megamillions of them over the years..

Got a good chuckle out of that!

Peavey Bandit?

That was my first thought.

We're talking about the best selling amp here. So it would have to be an amp with some longevity and popularity. And affordability. Configurations of the Peavey Bandit have been around for three and a half decades. Everyone from weekend warriors to seasoned pros use them. And it's reasonably priced. Not to mention the fact that the rugged reliability of the amp is legendary. And though some might turn their nose up at it because it's SS, it delivers good tone.

So I'm guessing that when it comes down to the best selling amp in history, the Peavey Bandit has got to be in the running.

My vote goes for the HRDLX

 

[chauncy]

Pignose.

 

[Bendyha]

TL072 - two amps in one; milions of the 8 leged spiders crawling everywhere.

 

[I own a Tele]

according to fender, it's a HRD
