What’s The Best Guitar Amp for You? / Buying Guide
Consider this your level one buying guide for guitar amps!
In this short broadcast, I’m giving you the 30,000 foot view amps and how to find the right one for your playing.
There are five types of amplifiers you can get for your guitar. These types are: solid state amps, tube amps, modelers, profilers, and hybrids. I’m breaking down each type, comparing and contrasting them and telling you a little about what each type of amp can do for you as a guitar player. Different genres of music work best with different types of amps and this is important to know depending on what kind of player you want to be!
This broadcast is packed with information, including some details on how amps work so that when you set out to buy one, you can really understand what you’re looking for. We’ll talk about wattage, volume range and more.
Keep in mind that there are amps for electric guitars, and acoustic amps. They’re both great, and work in totally different ways.
You can find my recommendations for my favorite amps in my kit store. You’re just a few clicks away from a new, awesome amp. Go here: https://www.kit.co/yourguitarsage

Getting me a vintage Yamaha G50 112.
I recently bought a v30 crate amp and I think it sounds awesome. I showed it to my guitar teacher and he said what's awesome about it? I said I like the sound. He said I wouldn't waste my time on that amp. I said why not? He said they're not that popular! I said but I like it! He said try convincing others that it's awesome! I said I'm already convinced that's why I bought it. Then he proceeded to tell me that I'm not a musician and that musicians hear differently. What's the deal? Do you think he's being a dick? Or is he right?
Line 6 Helix with the Powercab Plus is a game changer.

I know you said your using broad strokes for the most part and I'm not trying to be the "UM ACTUALLY" guy in the comments but I just want to drive home from experience that in my loud ass touring rock band our guitar player exclusively used a 1×12 solid state fender mustang amp and it was plenty loud for any of the bars/clubs we played so I don't think "solid state being for bedroom use" is a good rule of thumb
But in a gig, you are not going to go through your amp as the source to the audience, you are gong to go through a mixer so the mixer is the power, NOT your amp. I find that modeling maps are pretty good at low volume for sound reproduction but tube amps only seem to sound good at high volume. I don't know really, maybe I just don't get it and I've got a long way to go even though I've been playing over 50 years but not in a band LOL.
The best amp for me is the always the next one I’m going to buy.
You're Amazing Teacher. I'm learning from your complete guitar system course and that's literally ????Lit.
What do you think about the AXE FX III?
Begins at 1:11
For about $150 the Peavey Vypyr is really decent. Lots of great tones and effects and surprisingly loud if you want it to be.
Nice vid, but a suggestion for a future video would be to actually give a crash course of using the amp controls, volume, gain, eq, etc. etc.
Nowadays some amps also have a Bluetooth connection which can be useful if you’re playing at home and want to jam along with backing tracks, on your smartphone or tablet. I think this is a nice feature if you want to have fun while practicing. Nice video! Cheers
As a part time musician, who plays once in a while, why not use cab sims like Amplitude. You get the amp, various cabinets, you can change the speakers in the cabs and move the microphones around. I won’t buy another amp. Software has finally caught up. Even better, I can pump that amp sound out to a PA.
My Egnater Renegade and my Marshall mini plexi
I have a Marshall code 50 I love it
I am still trying to figure out the best amp for me. I've been figuring it out since my first $59 Silvertone that my mom bought me in 1965. It was solid state with a 10" speaker. Next amp was a 59 Champ. Then a Twin, etc, etc. I have a Vox hybrid that's a good modeling amp and a hot rod deluxe for real pure sound. You give a good description of the various types. Too many choices these days. New players spend more time on gear than on practice, and practicing is how you get good.
Thanks.
Profiler: Measures what the entire amp does between input and speaker and emulates the entire thing including all your settings like gain and EQ. Advantage is you can copy your amps settings or buy someone else's copied amps.
Modeler: Individual components/sections are measure and combined piece by piece. The advantage is you can change any settings and it will behave as the tube amp does. Also they usually have lot's of effects pedals built-in.
Both can be very useful depending on your needs. If you are a new player and don't have a bunch of tube amps to copy, a modeler will probably give you more bang for your buck.
As a beginner I would like to ask if I should for a combo amp or cheap amp and a guitar effect processor
I could listen to this backtrack all day. Love it!
Nice one
