What's your favorite famous studio amp tone?

I go through periods of boredom just playing guitar and while the old DigiTech RP isn't on par with the incredible newer amp models on today's units, I love the amps, cab models, and parametric EQ settings you get to tweak. My new hobby is downloading guitar only tracks and turning knobs to get as close as I can.
I randomly came across the guitar track of Rainbow in the Dark by Dio and like most metal bands in the 80s it was basically a straight JCM 800 with a Boss OD pedal in front for gain. Another favorite was EVH's opening riff on the You Really Got Me Cover which I wanna say was the "brown sound"? There's the classic cleaner lead tones of guys like Slash and Clapton. As a Metallica fanatic there's the Mark IIC+ Crunchberries of Master of Puppets, but also the monumental layering of The Black Album.
There's the classic Fender clean sounds heard on many albums but I love the sounds of the Roland JC120.
What are some of your holy grail amp tones from albums

Whatever John Petrucci used on Dream Theater's Awake album.

Pagey's Supro Thunderbolt.
The Brothers Young dry Marshall sound in their early days as on the Live Wire album.
Petty and Campbell always had wonderful Vox tones like "I Need To Know" or "Listen To Her Heart.
Boston's Rockman sound.
Way too many.

A lot of the time it really depends on the player..how the cab is mic'd, the mics that are used, rooms, speakers and cabs. But..I do like using

Keith Richards and his 1958 Fender twin or 1956 Fender tweed harvard and EVH's "Brown sound"

I use the orange rockerverb Will Putney setting on a kemper when recording pop punk tracks.

Without looking with Mark IV or Mark V. The Mesa Boogie Mark Series is what got me into gear

Find an album with those. I can tell from your posts we're on the same page with distortion

Boogie Mark series for me too. The big influences for me were Luke (IIs) and Sykes (IIIs), and Petrucci has done some incredible things with his. He used a IV on "Images and Words" I recall and probably on "Awake" too.
I've owned IIs, IIIs, IVs and the V over the last 30+ years and my favorite still is the green stripe III, which is basically a IV with more aggression and fewer knobs.
Mine went back to Petaluma for some sweet mods to R2's master volume (it now has one); the "+" mod to the lead gain channel; and installation of a more Lone Star-like reverb circuit and tank.
My III is long chassis and Simulclass. It drives a fatboy closed back Recto vertical 2x12 loaded with 90- and 150-watt WGS. I absolutely adore this amp.

AC/DC Back In Black album had the best studio tone. Live at Donington 1991 was one of the best live tones I've ever heard. Malcolm's tone was much dirtier than normal and had a tone of bite. Listen to Jailbreak after the solo when he starts lightly strumming and its on the edge of breakup.
EDIT: For years Malcolm was known to play JTM45's and Angus played Plexi's.

Whichever Marshall Slash rented to record Appetite.

I have a client who has the same Silver Jubilee Marshall that Slash allegedly used. When my guy runs his LP through that head and a stock Marshall cab at stage volumes, he sounds just like him.

Whatever Steve Lukather used on the first Toto album.
Posted on 5/25/22 at 7:06 pm to Corso
I guess holy grail would be the old Ampeg B15.
I would say whatever Geddy used on Moving Pictures but I know that a lot of that tone was a product of his fingers and his Jazz Bass.
