In this photo of the first Foo Fighters show (02/19/1995), Dave Grohl can be seen playing a Marshall JCM800 2203 100W. This amp was used for the first tour and also the recording of the first album. We know that it’s a JCM800 2203 because, Ernie Bailey (Foo’s 1st guitar tech), answer to some questions of a fan called Johnny (posted on the commente section of the YouTube video ‘Recreating Dave Grohl’s Foo Fighters Guitar Tone!’) : “David WAS plugged into his Turbo Rat pedal, into a Marshall JCM800 2203 100 watt head powering a Marshall 4x12 cabinet.”
According to this article from Premier Guitar, Dave Grohl used a "The Can" amplifier by SLM Electronics in October 1994 at Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, Washington while recording the Foo Fighters debut album.
