Tom Morello's Amplifiers
In a MusicRadar article, Tom Morello talks about how he ended up getting a Marshall JCM800 2205 50-watt head, which he uses in conjunction with a Peavey cabinet.
After his gear got stolen out of his van, he headed to Nadine's Music store, and ended up buying the Marshall head and Peavey cab simply because he needed them in a pinch to record a demo, and they didn't have much other selection at the time.
Morello also mentions that he found a knob combination on his amp that simply works, which he has used for quite some time. The original article can be found here.
At 3:08 in the YouTube video, Raga Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello explains, that he used this Marshall Lead 20 Model 5002 20 watts Combo Amplifier to write and record the song "Tire Me", which would go on to win the first-ever Grammy Award in the category of Best Metal Performance for the band at the 39th Annual Awards in 1997.
