Electric Guitar Amps-Find The Perfect Amp

By Mike Lemburg

So you finally decided to get an electric guitar huh?Good for you! However, you still need to find yourself an electric guitar amp.

Have you ever heard that you will not need to get an electric guitar amp in order to play the guitar? If so, you have been lied to. It is true you can purchase yourself a PA system and be able to make a some noise, but compared to an amp the PA system sounds horrible.

Right now you need to focus on what kind of amp you will purchase. There are so many amps out there it may seem almost impossible to choose an electric guitar amp that is perfect for you. All the amps are difference and come in different prices and sizes. If you are running low on money, don't worry. You can get a good guitar amp for around 200 dollars. However, if you are planning on keeping the amp for a very long time then you will find that some amps will cost you a few thousand dollars.

So what types of things should you look for when shopping for an amp?

In all honesty, it depends on a couple different things. The first thing you will need to do is analyze your guitar.

What type of genre of music are you planning on using your amp for?. If you are going to be playing the guitar in a jazz group, then you will be fine with a small amp. But a small amp will not work if you are planning on being in a hardcore rock band.

The next thing you need to take a look at is whether your show amp is going to be the same amp you practice with. If so you will want to get one that is loud.

If you have ever played with a guitar amp before you know they all sound different. The cabinet is a huge reason they sound different and you need to choose your amp based off the sound you like.

If you are wanting your amp to play a wide variety of music, it would obviously be a waste of money to go out and purchase every guitar cabinet out there. However, some of the top guitar companies have produced some amps that can model some of the sounds that we all love to hear. - 18423
