Electric Guitar Amplifiers

Since the electric guitar itself gives a weak signal, which is not enough even for home practice, an electric guitar amplifier is a must-have in a musician's arsenal from the moment of purchasing the instrument. Why, if at home you can study on a computer or household speaker system, a beginner will ask. It's simple. Because household systems or computer acoustics distort the signal. Feeling of sound, sound production is one of the keys to mastery. And how to learn to feel the sound of an instrument and control it if it is initially distorted? Therefore, it is necessary to buy an amplifier for an electric guitar already at the training stage, and professionals have at their disposal several different types and models.

Transistor, lamp or digital?

Transistor amplifiers enjoy the greatest demand and popularity - natural “live” sound, affordable price, do not require warming up and are unpretentious in maintenance. Lamp tubes are more expensive and more demanding than transistor counterparts, since lamps require preheating, and replacing them in the event of failure is expensive. Not to mention the fact that the necessary lamps are not always on sale, and waiting for an order via the Internet can be long.

Digital amplifiers have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that with the help of digital emulation, you can achieve the sound not only of a lamp or transistor, but also of a specific amplifier model. In addition, these amplifiers have built-in effects such as overdrive or reverb. And the prices for digital devices are quite attractive. But there are two significant drawbacks. First, digital tools and equipment become obsolete and irrelevant over time. Secondly, even the latest digital amplifier, designed with the latest technology, is not capable of imitating true "live" sound with 100% accuracy. And for a beginner, such an amplifier can do a disservice: having got used to the digital initially, he will be helpless, having connected the guitar to an analog device.

How to choose an electric guitar amplifier?

The choice directly depends on the intended purpose! If you need to buy an electric guitar amp to practice at home, pay attention to the power from 5 to 20 watts. These amps are small in size, easy to carry from place to place, and have enough power to play at home without disturbing others. For a concert venue or studio, more powerful amps or guitar stacks will naturally work. And for a concert musician, for whom it is important to give out “his” sound on any device, a “head” or a preamp is most suitable.
