One of the most common questions I see on here is asking what each Archetype's amps are modeled after. I created this to be an easy copy-and-paste link to send to anyone asking in the future. I will do my best to update this as new ones come out, until I die or stop using reddit.

Thank you to /u/irq013 and his/her original thread here which inspired me to make a final version. I used that thread as a starting point, got some help from the comments, and then spent a few hours checking official sources to make sure they are as accurate as possible.

If you have any information to add, or something to change, please let me know in the comments with an official source (if there is one) and I will edit as needed.

† = confirmed from an official source, either NDSP or the artist themselves
