Choosing A Jazz Guitar Amp

By Eugenia Dickerson


Most people who play guitar want to get the most from their instrument. It is not just about the instrument but also the way in which the sound is presented to the listener. One way to get people listening in the right way is to find the right jazz guitar amp that is right for the sound you want to give people.

An amp or amplifier is designed to amplify sound. This is both in a technical sense and also in terms of the quality of the sound. This may be used alongside a separate speaker or the amplifier may included in a combo package that merges both the amplifier and the speaker together.

Another practical consideration is when you are on stage. If you travel around a lot then you will probably want to keep the amount of items you have to take with you to a minimum. This is why you may a speaker and amp combo so that you do not have to carry both of them separately.

However some people prefer the sound of having an amplifier separate from a speaker. There is not necessarily a right or wrong to this. It is about listening to the sound and gauging whether this is appropriate. What you like in terms of sound may be different to someone else.

Another thing to consider is whether you want a separate speaker and amplifier or a combo. Some people like to keep the two separate. However a combo is a lot easier to transport so if you tour a lot and have limited space this may be a more practical option for you.

Another aspect of this is the level of customisation. Some people like a control panel with lots of knobs and switches so they can have more control over the level of sound. However if you have only recently starting playing the jazz guitar it is unlikely you will want to make using an amp more complicated. Therefore in this context it is probably best to use a simpler control panel.

The best way to be sure that an amp is suited your needs is to try it. Most music stores will allow you to test one so you can play your instrument and listen to how the amplifier affects the sound. You may not necessarily want to buy it from them but it is worth listening to gauge whether an amp produces the sound you want as well as finding out if it has the kind of technical features you want.

There are numerous places you can buy a jazz guitar amp from. It is worth looking online for feedback from other guitarists to find out the kind of amplifiers they use and why they use them. Checking product reviews and other sources of feedback will make it easier to find the right one to suit your needs.
