When it comes to guitar players like yourself, all the amps available to you will not fit your style. There are many jazz guitar amplifiers and blues amplifiers. When it comes to your music, just any amp will not do.
The music you play and the venue you play in will model the amp that you need. There are various brand names that using different technologies as well as sound suited for specific types of music. Whether you are playing a soothing night of blues and jazz, a mosh pit, or a country barn opry, the amp you choose will make or break your shtick.
Just purchasing any amp without forethought is a bad idea. The performance and quality of the sound determines whether the gig is a fail. Amps have specific sounds, brands, layouts, and technology that make them unique from one another. Choosing the right amp will require one to familiarize himself with the distinguishable qualities of amps.
The wattage rates the amps used. The low watt tube amplifiers are robust models. The tube can distort loud volumes. Tube amps are great for studio use where harmonic quality is the key. Typically, the higher the wattage of an amp, the more power it has to push numerous speakers.
The solid and tube amps are quite different. Tube amps are more expensive than solid states, and the tube amps are studio quality. Solid amps use transistors to produce sound amplification. There are various solid state amps that try to reproduce the sound of tube amps, but most of them do not meet the standards.
Micro amps make good practice amps. Most of them only push about 10 to 50 watts. The amps are not much good for anything. They make good for practicing. Because of the size of the amps, micro amps are generally solid state.
The 1 x 12 amplifier uses a single 12 inch speaker ideal for small gigs. They make useful practice amps when sound quality holds more weight than finger techniques. While they pack a punch, they do not meet the standards of playing in large venues. Though, they can be added to large Pas via line out jacks or mic ports.
The 2 x 12 amp is ideal for medium-sized venues and studios. The cabinets work for many categories of music. When looking for that amp, do not confuse the terms head and amplifier. The head is an amplifier without a speaker, and numerous heads can be hooked up to play a stack or half stack speaker system. A typical head can run up to 400 watts for the speakers.
The cabinets can hold 4 to 6 12in speakers. The configurations of 4 12in speakers with multiple smaller speakers are called half stacks. Cabinets can use 200 watt heads that would be ideal for mid-sized to larger venues. A half stack is a cabinet with 4 12in speakers. Full stacks are twice the amount obviously. The full stacks are used by pro musicians in large music venues. The amps used are what separate the pros from the hobbyist.
