Richie Kotzen

"I was in Sao Paulo and they couldn’t get my amp down there so I was playing through a Marshall JCM800. I used a Japanese overdrive pedal from this company called Sobbat" The Marshall logo is taped over but you can clearly see from the knobs that this is a channel switcher, most likely a 2210.

"I use the Marshall [1959]HW, which is a 100 watt Plexi, but it's handwired. [...] I like it because it's a very simple amp, it's loud, which is important, and it's very percussive, which is also important to me, because I play with my fingers."

"I used a Fender Custom Vibrolux and a Fender Vibro-King—I often had them linked—and I also sometimes had a Fender Bassman linked in with the Vibro-King"

On this page of Cornford's website, this picture shows Richie with his signature amp heads, the Cornford RK100.

In this video Richie shows the on/off switch on his pedalboard that controls the vibrato circuit on the Fender Vibroking amp.

At 3:17 in this video Richie Kotzen shows the Cornford MK50 amp he used as a substitute for his own amp, and also points out the differences between the two.

"For amplification, I used my signature-model Cornford RK100 with a Cornford 4x12 cab loaded with Celestion 30s. It’s a pretty simple 100-watt, hand-wired amp that kind of sounds like an old Marshall. But, out of all of the amps I’ve ever used, I can get a tone instantly with that rig. I plug in, turn up, tweak a few knobs, and I’m there. I also used a Cornford Hurricane 1x12 combo for a lot of the solos and rhythms. It was already miked up during the sessions, so I just tried it, and it sounded really cool—the midrange was very clear and focused."

Victory RK100 - CUSTOM LIMITED EDITION

Following the great success of the Compact and Heritage Series RK50 models, we've teamed up with Richie Kotzen again for this very special run of amps.

Richie approached us in 2018 with a request for a no-holds-barred 100-watt amp for touring that evoked the sounds and feel of the classic, late-1960s British rock heads, but with a few usability tweaks and – of course – Martin Kidd's unmistakeable sonic stamp. They have since graced stages all over the world, giving voice to Richie's incredible touch and expressive playing style.

Alongside his own heads, we have built 20 identical limited edition amps for sale, complete with a signed number panel by Richie himself. These are they…

In the YouTube video by sillennium, Richie Kotzen can be seen using the Roland Cube Lite 10W Guitar Combo Amp while discussing his signature Fender Telecaster.

He's in a official Fender video hawking it.

In his REH instructional video "Rock Chops," at the 9-minute and 20-second mark, Richie Kotzen is seen using a Laney AOR Pro Tube Lead 50 Series II Head, as documented by the video author, maibon01, on YouTube.
