Wow––I’ve gotta’ send out a huge thank you to reader Franck Gestin (in France even!) who was kind enough to clue me in on this great resource.
Online German guitar retailer ProGuitar has built an exhaustive section on their website dedicated to comparing some of the top guitar amplifiers, including high-quality recordings made with both Strats & Les Pauls, and covering both clean & dirty settings.
They’ve got mp3 samples of a whopping 69 different amplifiers, covering 24 different manufacturers, including Matchless, Marshall, Orange, Budda, Bad Cat, Fender, Vox, Mesa, Bogner and more.
This one’s going straight into my bookmarks, as it should come in handy for anyone in the research phase of purchasing a new guitar amp. Well worth a look––check it out!

This may well come in handy. My old Peavy is starting to show the strain now!

Yeah, this should be an amazing resource to have at your fingertips when you start looking for a replacement — it may not beat a hands-on, but it could certainly give you a quick idea of which amps you’d like to try out personally.

Dude, that is so cool!
Good work by those guys.

Here’s another good one. It’s all Bogner stuff, but very nicely done:

Wow, Great resource !
I had the same idea so I have just started a site like this only that the samples and content is generated by the users.
The site just went on the air and I have only about 20 users….but I hope that other people will share their info and that we can create a complete electric guitar samples database
It’s called tonepedia.com ….check it out !
Let me know what you think
Thanks
