it would have been nice to see this video a little sooner. with my little knowledge about amps I assumed most decent amps were around 100 to 150 watts and i purchased a 180 watt amp that i thought would be good for gigs. it is much to big and dosent sound very good when its turned down so much. learn from my mistake please

On the amp, if there is a button that says 'drive', is that a distortion channel?

Hi Justin!

If you have not that much money - is there a good but cheap amp you can use for acoustic and e-guitar? what do i have to look for, what are the important features to use one amp for both? what amount of watt is a good choice for that ? 15, 20, 30 ?!? ... thx 4 helping me out

[mrcrowley951]

what amp do you think is the best to buy with 300 euros? marshall mg50fx,maybe? i'm looking for a new one...

Very good information. Great explanation great job bud

You don't need a 100 watt amp to sound good. I have a 5 watt Fender valve amp, and it sounds amazing. Solid state amps are amazing too.
