the American bands seemed to favor Fender and Sunn While the Brits were Vox and Marshal.

There were a few odditys thrown in like Selmers, Watkins etc.

The Guess Who used Garnet amps.

This is what I remember. We must be about the same vintage, MM.

I was in a 60s carport band that used a 45 record player hidden around the back.
