In this article you are about to read we will be taking a look at three different kinds of amps to help you choose what electric guitar amplifiers will be perfect for you.
We will start off talking about solid state, then move on to tube, and end it with talking about hybrid.
1-Solid State Amps Instead of using tubes, these amplifiers use transistors for their preamp and power sections.
If you are looking for an electric guitar amp that is very reliable and of high quality then you probably want a solid state amp.
You will rarely have to get one of these repaired.
2-Tube Amplifiers These kind of amps have a very "organic" sound to them.
One of the main benefits that these kinds of amps have over solid state amps is that they are much louder even if they have the same amount of wattage.
These amps can switch between a distorted sound to a clean sound almost instantly.
3-Hybrid Amps These amps are basically a hybrid of the above two.
They use the actual tube as well as the solid power section.
If you are a beginner or intermediate player, then you should probably stay away from these amps.
If you are advanced then you might want to start practicing with these.
In the above article, we discussed a little bit about what each of those three amps do.
It makes life much easier knowing what kind of amp you want to get before you actually go into the store.
