Joe Walsh

This was his amp when he recorded and played "Funk #49", according to this interview in Guitar World:

"And I love Fender Champs, too. An old blackface Champ is actually what I did ‘Funk #49’ on. A blackface Champ and a Tele, straight in."

He used to play on this amp, according to this Boss interview:

"Did you ever use the Roland JC-120 Jazz Chorus amp?"

"Yeah. I used to play a pair of those. I used those when I played the second Us Festival [1983]. That was during the So What [solo] album. There’s film footage of that out there."

In this Guitar.com article, Joe Walsh says, "My other favorite thing is a pair of Vox AC-30s. That is tremendous for Fender guitars."

He used this little amp to record "Analog man", as said in this interview for Guitar World:

"'I found this little Fender amp called an FM15,' he says. 'It’s a digital amp with sampled amp tones. I’d come out of the headphone jack of that amp into a tube recording preamp and into a hard drive. Do that, and the Pro Tools sees tubes.'"

Walsh plays and loves this Roland Cube, according to this interview for Boss:

"You have a small Roland CUBE amp between your monitor wedges. How is that being used?"

"That’s driving the talk box [used on “Rocky Mountain Way”]. The speaker isn’t hooked up; it’s driving the talk box. It’s an old 60-watt CUBE — an orange one that’s been painted black.

Those CUBE amps are so great. I used to play with four of those in the early Eagles when Hotel California came out. In fact I used a CUBE to play slide on “The Long Run.” I liked to stack ’em too. That’s what I did in the old days. I even made a stand so I had two and two stacked. The top ones drove the bottom ones. I’d like to try out the new CUBE-60."

Another item Walsh gave to Pete Townshend was this Fender Bandmaster amp. This one is mentioned in this Guitar World interview:

"It was also Walsh who laid on Pete Townshend the 1959 Gretsch 6120 and 1959 Fender Bandmaster amp that Pete used to create the unforgettable guitar sound on Who’s Next."

The Fender Super Reverb is mentioned in this interview for Guitar.com -

"That would go into a pair of Fender Super Reverbs with four 10s, except only one top. I would connect the other four 10s to the external speaker jack, so that I was using one top and eight 10s. That way I had a spare top. I would put them on metal folding chairs that are about knee-high. Standing about eight or ten feet in front of those, you can actually move around and find different areas to sustain any note you want. It's also incredible because eight 10s pull the impedance of the amp down to like 4 ohms, and that's where you really get your sweet sound -- when the amp is screaming before it blows up. My other favorite thing is a pair of Vox AC-30s. That is tremendous for Fender guitars. The Super Reverbs are tremendous for humbucking configurations, like on the Les Paul."

He used this amp for the recording "Analog Man". As said in interview for Vintage Guitar:

"How about amplifiers?" (...) "The other thing I found is a little Fender modeling amp called an SM-15. It’s got a 10? speaker. I don’t like modeling amps for recording – they sound good in a room, but when it’s playback time, they sound digital. So I came out of the headphone jack and went into an ART tube preamp and pushed that pretty hard, then put that into the computer, so the computer actually sees tubes, like a buffer. I had really good luck with it."

He praises this amp everywhere. Here is excerpt from Vintage Guitar talking about this one:

"How about amplifiers?"

"Amp-wise, I came across a couple good things. The jury is still out about amp modeling and plug-ins and that sort of stuff, but I’ve plugged direct into the computer and got some okay results. But my favorite amp lately is a Dr. Z Maz 8, which I’ve been playing for a long time. Mike Zaite really makes some great amps, and they’re also great for recording."

On the main product page on Dr. Z's website, Joe is quoted saying "The Z-Lux is the best amp I own!"

a fan (http://www.in2guitar.com) who attended concert and took picture of Joe's backline in 2016: "The event that finally pushed me over the edge to the next move was seeing Joe Walsh perform at Charlottesville, VA, on his “2016 Toor.” For more background you can read more about that concert, HERE. Joe brought one of the new, smaller Leslie cabinets (a model 3300) and it sounded great. And I mean great. Coincidentally, I was seated directly in front of this amp and spent the whole time during the warm-up act watching its lower drum slowly spin at chorale speed."

From Sweetwater's product description page:

In 2018, Joe Walsh approached Dr. Z, asking him to re-create his favorite amp of all time: a ’57 Tweed Bandmaster. Joe revealed that he had parted with this amp in the early ’70s (gifting it to Pete Townshend) and had lived with regret ever since. Dr. Z re-created the classic 3 x 10" combo from the ground up, complete with a to-spec replica of its paper-wound Triad 1848 transformer. The design was then tweaked to Joe’s specifications, adding dual internally blended voices for tonal versatility and a beefed-up power supply for pedalboard-friendly headroom. The final result was then road-tested by Joe throughout his 2018 tour schedule before he gave it his final seal of approval.
