Peter Frampton's Amplifiers
Peter Frampton uses a 100w JMP Marshall from the 1970s as his main amp. "It's got an extra tube in there for some extra overloading situation for some nice distortion there," he said at (1:35).
In his Marshal arsenal, Frampton has Marshall Superlead amplifier. This one was modded by Jose Arredondo, with master volume and effects loop included.

According to Premier Guitar's rig rundown, Frampton has Leslie 147 hot-rodded by Murph Wanka.
"The electrics are sent to a Framptone amp switcher, which splits the signal off to four different paths. One route goes to a MESA/Boogie amp switcher that selects between a MESA/Boogie Mark IV rackmounted head powering a Hammond 147 Leslie (modified), or a MESA/Boogie Rectifier preamp. The preamp sends its signal to a pair of Digital Music dual stereo line mixers, which blend in the effects: a TC Electronic 2290 delay, TC Electronic 1210 chorus, Eventide Eclipse, dbx 1066 compressor, Ernie Ball volume pedal, Mu-Tron octaver, Foxx Tone distortion, Ampeg overdrive, and Korg DL8000 delay."
For cabinets, Frampton uses 3 Marshall 1960BV cabinets loaded with Celestion Vintage 30 speakers.
