One thing is certain: no one voted fender amps yet!
(I can see why, they are awesome clean amps, but probably not the idea of "rocking" amps.
No votes yet. But, I'd have to say Leo Fender perhaps created Rock and Roll...if it wasn't for his guitars and amps we're still in the dark ages.
To everyone, when I asked my original question I didn't specify Hard Rock, Blues Rock, Pop Rock, Hillbilly Rock, I Wish I Could Rock. Get my picture.
I simply think Leo Fender and his amp design had the single biggest influence on rock and roll.
The Strat is a Icon. So is the Les Paul. Can I even tell you what I think of the Great Jim Charles Marshall JCM in case people didn't know.
But since the Strat and the Les Paul were born about the same time but the Les Paul didn't take off until Marshall's existed. Same with the Strat. Until Hendrix played on through a Marshall it was just electric guitar. ALA Buddy Holly.
However, without the Fender Amp the electric guitar was just a solid body guitar. This was my point all along.
Does anyboy agree?
