Best Electric Guitar Amps

 Best Electric Guitar Amps.

I sincerely feel that, at times, a lot of emphasis is placed on the purchase of a (electric) guitar, but not enough space is given to what usually need to be purchased with one - something that is almost essential as the guitar itself, if not more. An amplifier! As has been discussed at length in previous posts, an amplifier is of vital importance for an electric guitar to function. An electric guitar produces no sound own (unlike its acoustic equivalent), and therefore it must be paired with a good amp to produce sound. In simple terms, an electric guitar with a pickup more about his body and these electromagnetic pickups are actually responsible production of sounds. When a string touches these pickups, the pickups convert these mechanical vibrations into electrical signals, which pass through the amplifier and produce the desired sound. Thus we see that the amplifiers are extremely important for such as electric guitars are concerned. Whether you're buying your first amp, or get rid of that old practice amp, the question remains, which are the best amps out there? Here are my picks of the cr?me de la cr?me of guitar amplifiers:

1. Marshall MA50C

Marshall is, by far, the largest producer of amps in world, and makes some of the most instantly recognizable-in amplifiers the world today. Marshall Amplifiers are therefore understandably expensive, as the MA50C, which will cost you a good $ 600 - $ 800! It comes with 50 watts of power under the hood, 12-inch speakers, and two channels. Other features include independent volume and 3-band EQ controls per channel, gain, crunch, balance controls, master presence, resonance, reverb controls, effects of series loop and a footswitch included. It looks absolutely stunning, and sounds good as it looks, as well! Which, as you will discover, is a rare combination when it comes to amplifiers.

2. Fender Deluxe VM

Another nice piece of equipment, and another that is one of the most immediately identifiable amplifiers in the world, the Fender Deluxe too will cost you about the same price as the MA50C. The VM or Vintage Amended has a real tube amplifier, with a whole series of effects essential. It houses two 12-inch speakers, pumping a combined output of 40W, and produces a rich sound and sensible. A great amp for a small pub, bar or jams in garage, and is ideal for players of the rock genre, country and blues guitar.

 

 

 

 3. Randall KH75

One of my personal favorites from the list, mainly due to the 75W of power that is capable of delivering, the two channels with its 3 mode, and in part due to the fact that his name from one of my favorites guitarists in the world: Kirk Hammett of Metallica fame! The KH75 is the perfect amp for the road, and has three channels in an intuitive and rightly entitled to boot. It also has a spring reverb, a effects loop, a tape / CD input, and a footswitch. The EQ controls on board allow you to create your very own rock sound with bass, treble and mid-range boundary controls. A fantastic amp for the budget-minded.
