How to choose a new amp

If this is your first time buying an amp (or want to “amp” things up a bit), you might be wondering which one you should choose — after all, we’ve got more than 1,000 amps and FX in stock! Here at Musos, we know our stuff when it comes to amps, so we’ve put together a few tips to help with the selection process. 

• Consider the kind of music you play — or that you want to play. An amp can make a huge impact on how your instrument sounds. Every amp has its own personality e.g. smooth and clean (preferred for jazz, pop and indie rock) or textured and distorted (preferred for classic rock, punk and metal). Consider what kind of music you want to play, and if you haven’t found your signature sound yet, opt for something with a versatile sound profile.
  

• Figure out your volume requirements. How loud do you want to play? Are you playing at home, or want to blow the crowd’s mind at a live gig? Audio volume is measured in watts so if you want something smaller, look for amps at 10-30 watts. For bands, we recommend a medium-sized amp (50 watts) or a large amp (100 watts).

• Consider if you’ll be travelling with your amp. Travelling with a heavy amp can be a major challenge — likewise if you’re planning on busking. In this case, we recommend opting for a smaller, lighter amp at around 10-30 watts.

• Look into different materials in the amp’s construction. Your amp’s casing (otherwise known as a cabinet) can affect how the sound resonates with the speaker. For the most part, cabinets are made of wood so when you’re browsing through our products, take note of the type of wood and the thickness of the cabinet to determine how your instrument will sound.

• Think about the special effects you want. Most amps come with digital effects like reverb, tremolo and effect loops, whereas others come with EQ control and channel switching so you can swap between distorted and clean sounds with a foot pedal.
