At one point or another a lot of people had. Zakk Wylde, James Hetfield (before switching to Mesa), Molly Hatchet (current guitar players), Randy Rhodes, Billy Gibbons (Recycler Tour), Tom Morello, Michael Schenker, John Fogerty, Slash...I think that's enough for now :jam

Not Randy Rhodes. He used a late 70s 1959 in conjunction with an MXR Distortion+.
Still my guitar gently weeps

Iron Maiden used JCM800s since their first self titled album in 1980 (Obviously JMP2203/4 since the JCM range didn't exist in 1980) They used Gallien Krueger amps for the Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son albums, but after that they switched back to JCM800's again.

Now, Adrian Smith uses the 30th anniversary amp, Dave Murray uses JMP-1 run through a DSL100 and Janick Gers uses a JMP-1 with a 9200 poweramp.
