Tips For Choosing A Jazz Guitar Amp

By Essie Osborn


People who play jazz tend to be very passionate. Equally the people listen to the music often want the purest sound when they are listening. Therefore while the instrument you choose is important how the sound is amplified is an equally important consideration. Therefore you need to be sure that you have the right jazz guitar amp for your instrument.

The word amplifier literally means a device that amplifies sound. On a simple technical level this means that when the guitar is plugged into it people at the back of the room should be able to listen to music almost as well as someone listening at the front of the room. If people are struggling to hear then you should consider getting another amplifier!

However it is not just about the technology. If this is where the case then there would be only one type of amplifier. What is equally important is the quality of the sound and how it presents the music to the listener. It is vital to choose something that makes your instrument sound as good as possible.

In recent times there have been more amps that use digital effects. Some people like these as it gives them the chance to create effects they would not necessarily have been able to with other means. However others may feel that this creates a more artificial sound. Ultimately this is why it is important to test and try out amps before purchasing them.

There is also an issue regarding the level of control. While it may be tempting to pick an amp with a lot of additional buttons this can make them more complex for people who have only just started playing jazz guitar. Fortunately there are also amplifiers with simpler controls for people who are just getting started!

While the quality of sound is a big issue for people choosing amplifiers there are other practical considerations. You need to think about how far you will have to carry it, where you will store it and so forth. While you want something that creates the best sound you have to think about where you can lift it.

Another debate is whether or not you want to use digital systems. Some people use digital systems in order to recreate certain sounds. However other people feel that this makes the sound seem artificial. Ultimately you have to decide for yourself what kind of sound you want in order to narrow down the options available to you. Even if you intend to purchase one online it is worth testing one in a store so that you can gauge if it works best with the instrument you have.

You can find a wide array of amplifiers for your jazz guitar in specialist high street stores and online. It is recommended that you compare a number of different products as well as customer reviews and feedback to help you make an informed decision before buying your amplifier. With the right approach you will find the best one to suit your style.
