Buying Used Guitar Amplifiers

Electric guitar players often purchase several amps because they want to have one that they can haul around as well as one that they can use at home. There are a number of different features that individuals should look for when buying used guitar amplifiers:

1) Combo amps are amplifiers that combine a head and a cabinet. Modern combo amps are powerful enough to play for a small crowd in a club setting or at a party. However, for large events such as outdoor concerts where the sound has to carry for a farther distance, some players prefer to purchase a head and a cabinet. Other players still use combo amps at large events but choose to run the sound over additional speakers.

2) Solid state and tube amps are available on the used amplifier market. A solid state amp is far more common on the market these days. More manufacturers are still producing solid state amplifiers and there are far more of them on the used market than tube amps. Tube amps use vacuum tubes to pump out the sound. Tube amplifiers were known for being used by famous players. However, most players now use solid state amplifiers, as the quality of the sound increases thanks to new technology.

There are a number of steps that individuals should pay attention to when they are buying used guitar amps:

1) First, they should visually inspect all sides of the amplifier. Are there any large cosmetic damage marks? Does the amplifier appear to have been well maintained? Also, make sure that the amplifier does not appear that it has been dropped. This can become apparent when screws are missing, as large scuffs appear on the outside of the amplifier. Also make sure that nothing is leaking from the amplifier. This could be another bad sign!

2) If you have the option of trying out the amp before you buy it, do it. Turn the amp on and ensure that the amplifier powers into standby mode. Run the controls through their entire range and listen for noise. Some noise is expected in the range but if you notice large amounts of noise, it means that purchasing the amplifier might just be a bad decision. Make sure that you consider your purchase carefully for an amplifier that has a large amount of noise in the amp ranges.

3) Now that you have run all of the controls through their motions, test the sound. Return all controls to normal levels and turn the master volume down. Play for a few minutes to gauge the sound that you get from your guitar. Ensure that you are happy with the level of sound that you are getting for the price.

Do not feel pressured to purchase an amplifier because you have tried it out! Be smart about your purchase and only make an offer on an amplifier that you feel is worth your money.
