Guitar Amp FAQs

  • What kind of guitar amp is right for me?

    Pick a guitar amp based on what sort of sound you are aiming for. By taking a look at what some of your favourite bands and guitarists are using you can get a good idea of the type of amplifier you need.

  • What size guitar amp is best for me?

    Choose the size of your amplifier based on how you plan to use it. For practicing at home, pick something under 20w. If you are gigging at small venues, 20-50w will suffice, and anything bigger will probably be best for larger venues.

  • How do I connect two guitar amps together?

    The easiest way to use two guitar amps is with an A/B/Y switch. This allows you to play through either amp (A or B) or both (Y).

  • Can I use a guitar amp for electronic drums?

    Whilst this is possible, it is not advisable due to the extended range of frequencies that will be produced by an electronic drum kit. Guitar amps are designed to handle a specific set of frequencies and they can be damaged by those outside of this range.

  • Should I get a combo amp or head amp?

    Guitar heads must be used with a matching cabinet in order to produce a sound. If you use a cabinet, an amplifier head will be what you need. A combo contains both an amplifier and a speaker and therefore can be used just with the guitar.

  • What are the best inexpensive guitar amps?

    Some of the best inexpensive guitar amps are produced by Fender, Marshall, Blackstar, BOSS, and Vox.
