When you are new to the world of music, especially guitars, you should know that there are different types of guitars. In order to choose the right guitar, you must first choose the type of music you want to play.
The electric guitar makes it possible to play small pieces quite easily and in a short time. The classical guitar produces warm, round, soft sounds. The folk guitar produces more metallic, cooler and more striking sounds than classical guitars. Finally, you can choose a bass guitar, which produces a heavier sound.
The amplifiers
You will probably have noticed, during a concert, that a guitar does not come alone. That is to say, musicians have several accessories at their disposal when they play this instrument.
The amplifier is one of those accessories that is necessary to produce a more important sound, especially for electric guitars. Sound amplifiers are more or less powerful.
Types of amplifiers
As there are different types of guitars, there are also different types of amps. These include tube amps, transistor amps, model amps and hybrid amps.
Tube amps
They are not the cheapest amps and for good reason: they are the ones that produce high quality sound, in addition to being very powerful. On the other hand, these are accessories that are quite heavy to carry and remain quite fragile.
In addition, once the lamps have to be changed, the operation is quite delicate and it is strongly recommended to do so by a specialist in the field, which will cost you a few more euros.
But that being said, it remains the most coveted amp, especially by the professional musicians who play in concert, because the sound delivered is really of high quality.

This Blackstar brand amp is equipped with lamps, a loudspeaker and an ISF tone control. You can also connect your MP3 player for your accompaniment.
It is an excellent and very powerful accessory that produces very good quality sounds.
Transistor amplifiers
Transistor amps are less powerful than tube amps and less dynamic as well, even if they produce good sound quality. Their great advantage is to produce a good quality sound whether with a low volume of the amp or with a very high volume.
Another significant advantage is that they are cheaper than tube amps, which is still important for musicians, in addition to being lighter to carry.

Modeling amps
Modeling amps, as their name suggests, produce models. These allow you to switch from one sound to another in no time, from the brightest to the darkest sound.
Some modeling amp models allow these sound changes to be made directly with the foot, for greater comfort and convenience.
This is an excellent type of amp, because the modeling amps have a very good price-quality ratio and are light to transport.

Hybrid amps
Hybrid amps are the cheapest amps on the market. They are a kind of mix between the tube amp and the transistor amp, since they are composed of both characteristics.
However, despite their attractive price, musicians prefer to buy a modeling amp, which is more complete.
