Tube Amp
The four types of Guitar Amps
There are several types of guitar amps that are in the market today for you to choose. If you are looking a new amplifier, it is best to decide what you want, because they are all very different.
The first type of amplifiers erupted, would be the tube amplifiers. The funny thing is that even if the technology of tube amplifiers is very old, these amps are still widely used for beginners and guitar. The reason for its popularity is that the tone of these amplifiers is generally very warm and natural other relation. Not just sound better, usually more higher than other amps and the same power level. All I remember with a tube amp is that they require maintenance, since vacuum tubes should be changed periodically.
Usually, not two types of tubes in an amp – preamp section and power section. More common are the 12AX7 tubes, 6L6, EL34, and more.
There are several brands of guitar amplifiers guitar amplifiers that use tubes – Marshall, Soldano, Peavey, Genz Benz, Mesa Boogie and many others – especially the older and vintage.
Amp solid state have been invented to replace tube amps (which it did not!). Basically, the difference between the main tube and that the MPA is solid state solid state uses transistors instead of tubes. It requires almost no maintenance because no tubes to change.
This does not mean the amp solid state are not as good as the tube, which depends on the application and the type of music you play.
Some guitarists prefer two clash in what is called a hybrid amplifier. These amplifiers are home with two tubes and transistor amplifiers in one. Usually the pipes are not in one step amplification and transistors to the next stage (preamp and power amplifier)
Recently, the amplifiers digital have emerged. These amplifiers use of computers and integrated circuits to create different tones on the amplifier. Usually, there are a number of different types of effects and tons you can get. These amplifiers are extremely versatile.
Examples of some digital amplifier Vox Valvetronix, Line 6, and others. These amplifiers are ideal if you want to play all different kinds of music with different types of guitars.
