Let's Talk Amplifiers

A lot of guitar players would love to have electric guitars. Most guitar players look for the best sounding electric guitar, the best designed electric guitar and the best branded electric guitar. Not a lot of guitar players pay attention to the guitar amp. Little do people know that it is important to that you pick out a really good amplifier. Most beginner guitarists do not realize what guitar amps can do for them. What you need to realize early on is your equipment will greatly affect the sound you make. You may be the best guitar player in town. But if you don't have the right equipment, you will definitely sound terrible. Even the best electric guitar, when paired with a really crappy amp, can sound like a dying cat.

One of the things you have to consider when getting your first ever amp is the price. Of course, most beginner guitar players will not want to spend too much or will not have that much to spend for their equipment. Guitar amps can cost about a hundred to several thousands of dollars. To start off, you can go for the low cost solution: 15 watt guitar amps. They are easy to lug around and very inexpensive. But you can't expect that small amp to give you concert quality.

Using a small amp can prove to be very frustrating especially for beginner guitar players when small amps are in use. You may think that you just can't seem to play anything nice. What you don't realize is you just do not have the right equipment at the moment. You can also expect to have some problems when it comes to the volume of the amp. At one point, you will want to play with other musicians. And your sound can easily be drowned out by the drums. And obviously, that will pose a really big problem for you and the drummer.

Don't think that you have to spend a huge amount of money for your first guitar amp. These small amps can be sufficient in the meantime. But you will have to think of getting a better amp in the near future.

There are some basic things that you will want to consider when you buy your first amplifier. Check if the amp has a three-band equalizer for the low, mid and high. Check if you can switch from clean to overdrive. And lastly, check for reverb. These options will allow you to test the versatility of your newfound skill and let you try out different sounds as you study some riffs and licks.

You have to check and see for yourself how you will sound with an amplifier before you actually make a purchase. Pay a visit to the local music store and try out the different amplifiers. Play with the volume and the overdrive. Try to see if you are satisfied with the dynamics of the sound you make. Check to see if you and the amp have some sort of "chemistry" going on before you decide to buy that amp.

You may also want to try haggling with the employees. It is possible to get the amp you really want for a lower price. And it won't hurt to try.

Getting Your Car Amplifier Up And Running

A car amplifier can help you get great quality music from your car audio system with little corruption. Getting one means you can hook up a subwoofer to give your those great bass notes or get better volume from your stereo. If you are looking to install a car amp, but unsure where to start then here are the basic steps to set you on your way.

First: make sure that you have disconnected the wiring from the negative battery terminal. This is vitally important because until you have done this interfering in any way with the electrics of your car is highly dangerous.

Second: purchase an amplifier kit from a car audio supply store. These should have all the wiring necessary for your installation. Check that the wiring is the correct gauge for the power of amp that you have bought (i.e. the RMS). Once you have this kit then you should have all the equipment you need, although you will still require a pair of wire cutters and wire strippers.

Third: decide where you are putting your amp in your car. Although it is tempting to show off your new equipment, the first rule of car security is to keep anything that might be stolen out of sight. It is for this reason that many people choose to put their amps in the car boot or under a seat – like the passenger seat. This keeps them out of sight but does not make wiring in your amplifier more difficult than it has to be.

Next: you should have a red ‘live' wire and a black ‘ground' wire. The red wire connects to the positive (+) side of the battery and should have a fuse (of an appropriate size for your amp) within 45 centimetres, or 18 inches, of the battery. This should then run through the firewall of your car, under the carpet, to the amplifier.

The black wire connects to the negative (-) terminal of the amp and needs to touch a piece of clean, bare metal on the car frame – i.e. metal that is not painted or rusty, a metal bolt or screw is a good place to connect to. This wire will also run under the carpet of the car away from the amplifier.

There should also be RCA cables that will connect the amp to the head unit of your stereo. To avoid mix up, keep these as far as possible from the power wires although keeping them under the carpet.

The next step is to link the amp to the main stereo using the blue wire. Connect this to the blue wire of your stereo system and you will be able to access your car amplifier from the head unit.

Finally, connect your amp to the car speakers, again keeping the wires as separate and distinct from the power cables as possible. Once this is done, your amp should be fully operational.
