Author: I was wondering, what is a really good cheap tube amp. Links to the page would be great. Thanks!
if you want a cheap one…it’ll be a piece of SH**

The cover of house of the rising sun by muse is really good. It’s not that difficult, but what guitar effects are used?
well i think the only guitar in that cover was the rythme guitar no effects but distortion was on it and as for that other parts mostly a phaser
Without damaging the amp or the speakers, I want to play my Marshall 4ohm guitar amp with my 8ohm speakers to my home stereo. I know the speakers can handle the power as far as wattage goes, however I’m not sure how the mixing and matching of different ohms works and I don’t want to fry/blow anything. Can I do it? Thanks in advance!
The incident of overpowering amps is not here. The
source of power is the initial monitor issue. To use a
pre-amp, private generator or battery line source could
mix ohms because that is the description of output watt
command. You do not intend to master the signal. To use
a mixer board or a p.a. monitor board would be for live play.
To play in a light venue you do not even enter the realm of
exploding your lines, which are the first thing to go. The
wiring is new, the power is steady, the output is clear and
to keep those in that ratio you need play within household
watt command levels, say under 20 decibels. 20 decibels
of house watts is equal to turning up the radio full blast.
You most likely will be right there if you keep the sound clean.

In my local music shop today I came across a fender tube amp. It was tan and the front said vintage tube amp near the top right. On the front were chicken foot knobs and they alternated colors between white, black, white, black all the way across. It was a 1×12 and the back had 2 outputs for an 8 ohm and 4 ohm output. An ideas?
I only know of the Fender Super-Sonic™ Tube 1×12 Combo that may come close to your description. Or the Fender Hot Rod Series Blues Junior NOS 15W 1×12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp.

If links don’t work, put it in the adress bar and search.
I just got a electric guitar and need an amp.
I have no money but my friend will trade my my graphics card for his acoustic-electric amp
so my questions is, will my electric guitar work with the amp, and will there be much of a sound difference between the acoustic amp and the electric amp?
I’ve seen a few guitarists do this. Pat DiNizio of The Smithereens plays a Rickenbacker guitar through an SWR acoustic amp live.
As long as you’re playing clean, it will be ok. But, if you try to distort the amp or use a distortion pedal with it, it’s probably going to sound hideous.
acoustic amps are designed to put out a lot more high frequency information (and less low frequencies) than your standard guitar amp. While that sounds fine for a clean guitar, it will make a distorted guitar sound like a 100 pound mosquito with the runs!
So, the answer to your question is yes…there is a big difference in the sound between the two types of guitar amps.
