Vintage Guitar Amplifiers

A wide range of guitar amplifiers are available. These include:

·         Traditional guitar amplifiers, like the Fender Tweed style, produce a clean, warm sound, a sharp treble roll-off at 5 kHz or less and bass roll off at 60–100 Hz.

·         Hard rock-style guitar amplifiers, like the Marshall, tone filters, and distortion effects that provide the amplifier's characteristic tone. Adds "drive", intensity, and "edge" to their guitar sound.

·         Bass amplifiers are often provided with external metal heat sinks or fans to help keep the amplifier cool. Higher-end bass amplifiers sometimes include compressor or limiter features, which help to keep the amplifier from distorting at high volume levels, and an XLR DI output for patching the bass signal directly into a mixing board.

·         Keyboard amplifiers often have a simple onboard mixer, so that keyboardists can control the tone and level of several keyboards.

·         Acoustic amplifiers are similar to keyboard amplifiers but designed specifically to produce a "clean," transparent, "acoustic" sound when used with acoustic instruments with built-in microphones.
