How To Choose A Jazz Guitar Amp

By Essie Osborn


Jazz is a musical genre that tends to attract passionate musicians and listeners. These are people who tend to listen carefully to the music and analyse it like some people analyse sports. This means that they tend to be very particular when it comes to choosing instruments and other equipment. However while choosing the right instrument is important you also have to choose the right amplifier such as a jazz guitar amp.

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 amplifiers are not solely technical devices. The way in which the sound is amplifies can affect the quality of the music as well. Therefore you need to consider how the music sounds as much as whether or not someone can physically hear what you are playing.

Of course how confident you will be in adjusting this sound will dependent on your level of experience as a jazz musician. Someone who has played for a while is more likely to know the level of sound that they want and be able to adjust it accordingly. For someone getting started this is something that they have to get used to.

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!

Increasingly there are more options to customise the sound via control panels on the amplifier. Some people like a lot of buttons on a control panel so they have more control over the quality of the sound and to adjust it accordingly. However if you are just getting started it is recommended you start with a simpler system as this will be more user friendly.

One way to reduce space is to use a combination amplifier and speaker. This reduces the amount of items you have to move around, install and so forth. However some people feel this can negatively affect the sound. As with a single amplifier it is recommended that you test them first in order to gauge what is best suited to your instrument and style of playing.

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.
