A guitar amp is one of the accessories you will have to possess if you are serious about your playing an electric guitar. A guitar amp increases the volume of your guitar and is a must have if you are making public performances. Guitar Amps also allows you to modify the tone by emphasizing or de-emphasizing frequencies and adding special electronic effects.
The amplifier works in two stages. The first one is preamplifier stage which amplifies the voltage of the signal from the guitar. The preamplifier stage allows electronic effects like distortion, reverb, and chorus and controls like graphic equalizers. The second one is power amplifier stage which produces a higher current for the speaker.
There are certain things that need to be taken into consideration while buying a Guitar Amp, particularly an acoustic type.
- Construction: Guitar amps may either use tubes or transistors. Amps with transistors are cheaper and are likely to last longer. Amps with tubes produce better sound. However, they tend to burn out and need to be replaced. Guitar Amps with tubes may also distort the signal when pushed too hard.
- Noise: When you buy a guitar amp, one of the things that you need to look out for is the sound production. A clear sound is desirable. There should not be any hiss or crackle. The guitar amps should not produce sounds when they are not being used. They should also have basic controls like bass, volume and treble, reverb feature and an auxiliary input. This auxiliary input will enable you to connect a CD or an mp3 player to the amplifier.
- Speakers: Speakers are separated or combined. The combination design contains the amplifier and the speakers in one cabinet and hence is favorable for transportation. You can also opt for a separated type that has the amplifier placed on the top of the speaker cabinet. This design is favorable if there are many speakers. You may also opt for acoustic guitar amps that have headphone jacks. This will allow you to listen to the guitar without disturbing other people.
You can choose from a wide range of amps that include hard rock style guitar amplifier and acoustic amplifiers. Your choice of amplifier will depend on your personal needs, however, always make sure you are well informed. You can always buy amps through the net, and various websites are designed to help buyers choose the right amp.
