What does Jane's Addiction's Dave Navarro call his two Marshal amplifiers?

Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro calls his two Marshall amplifiers Tangerine and Peach.

The pair were Marshall JCM900 amplifiers, long associated with Navarro’s guitar rig during Jane’s Addiction’s influential alternative-rock period. Naming the two amps gave him an easy way to distinguish them within a touring setup built around multiple heads, cabinets, and tones.

Navarro’s sound was not produced by the amplifiers alone. He has also used PRS and Ibanez guitars, Boss effects pedals, Fender equipment for clean sounds, and other studio amplifiers such as the Vox AC30 and Bogner Uberschall. The JCM900s supplied the aggressive, saturated character often linked with his playing.

A common mix-up is confusing the amp names with model names. Tangerine and Peach are personal nicknames, not Marshall product lines. The amplifiers themselves are JCM900s, while Navarro has used other Marshall models, including a JCM800 and the Mode Four.
