Which Guitar Amp Should I Buy? - 092
Oct 02, 2019In today's episode I take the next step with amplifiers. Back in episode 18 we learned all about the different types and styles of amplifiers. Today, we take that knowledge and make some decisions.
I break down the four types of players that are interested in buying an amplifier:
- Not started yet
- Home practicer
- Small venue gigger
- Large venue gigger
Each player is looking for something different in an amplifier. In the podcast I go through the optimal features that will help each type of player sound professional and cut the gig.
Then I go through all of the other considerations you need to pay attention to before you spend money on an amplifier:
- Tone
- How loud
- Weight
- Style
- Tube or Solid State
- Will it take pedals
- Modeling
- Cheap vs. expensive
- Wattage and speakers
Finally, I give the amplifiers that I would recommend to each type of player in several different styles of music. Below are the Amazon affiliate links to these amplifiers:
