COMBO
Guitar amplifiers are manufactured in two main forms. The "combination" (or "combo") amplifier contains the amplifier head and guitar speakers in a single unit which is typically housed in a rectangular wooden box. The amplifier head or "amp head" contains the electronic circuitry constituting the preamp, built-in effects processing, and the power amplifier.
Combo amps have at least one 1/4" input jack where the patch cord from the electric guitar can be plugged in. Other jacks may also be provided, such as an additional input jack, "send" and "return" jacks to create an effects loop (for connecting electronic effects such as compression, reverb, etc.), an extension speaker jack (for connecting an additional speaker cabinet).
Some smaller practice amps have stereo RCA jacks for connecting a CD player, iPod or other sound source and a 1/4" headphone jack so that the player can practice without disturbing neighbours or family members.
Guitar tube amps vs transitor amps have in general been favoured vs transitor amps by the major and most important guitar players inhistory like: Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Slash, Brian May, Joe Satriani, Eddie Van Halen, Dave Gilmour, Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Steve Vai, Carlos Santana, James Hetfield (Metallica), Tom Morello (former RATM, now Civilian), Kurt Cobain (formerly Nirvana), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy and BLS), Gary Moore, Jeff Beck, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Angus Young (AC/DC).
HEAD
In the "amp head" form, the amplifier head is separate from the speakers, and joined to them by speaker cables. The separate amplifier is called an amplifier head, and is commonly placed on top of one or more loudspeaker enclosures. A separate amplifier head placed atop a guitar speaker enclosure or guitar speaker cabinet forms an amplifier "stack" or "amp stack".
Amp heads may also have the different types of input and output jacks listed above in the combo section. In addition to a 1/4" input jack, acoustic guitar amplifiers typically have an additional input jack for a microphone, which is easily identified because it will use a three-pin XLR connector.
Phantom power is not often provided on general-use amps, restricting the choice of microphones for use with these inputs. However, for high-end acoustic amplifiers, phantom power is often provided, so that musicians can use condenser microphones.
TUEB RELATED
Amplifiers used with electric guitars may be solid state, which are lighter in weight and less expensive than tube amplifiers. Most guitarists, particularly in the genres of blues and rock, prefer the sound of vacuum tube amplifiers despite their higher cost, heavier weight, the need to periodically replace tubes and need to re-bias the output tubes (every year or two with moderate use).
Some companies design amplifiers that require no biasing as long as properly rated tubes are used. Some modern amplifiers use a mixture of tube and solid-state technologies. High-end tube instrument amplifiers have survived as one of few exceptions, because of the sound quality.
Typically, one or more dual triodes are used in the preamplifier section in order to provide sufficient voltage gain to offset losses by tone controls and to drive the power amplifier section.
