Author: Alright I been playing guitar for around 6 years now and its time for a new amp and I will be starting a new band soon.Who likes what and why. The sales guy and guitar center was acting like I was a new b and didnt know the difference between them.I know tube amps tend to have better sound to them but solid state are cheaper and some are excelent amps.What should I do . Solid state have never let me down.
Check them out, plug in and play through them with the guitar you like best. Fender and Marshall are the best tube amps, they have a warmth, and tone that is the best, but if you like the sound of a non-tube amp go with it….your opinion and what you like is as important as anyone else. Tube Amps are usually heavier, than solid state.
You can always look at the lower cost Marshall’s they have good sound, and are smaller and easier to carry around. I love my Fender Twin Reverb, but it’s like carrying around a car engine. I got a smaller Marshall that is mostly solid state but has a tube or 2 for warmth, much cheaper, much lighter. Play them all…if they won’t let you, take your business elsewhere.
