i got a basic 15 watt amp that has a gain bass middle treble volume and reverb nobs and i cant get my guitar to sound like the songs guitar does )im trying to play animal i have become by three days grace on my electric guitar) so how can i arrange them to get what i want

Push gain up quite a bit, i like it full, try bass about 2.5, mids at 0, treble at full, volume at full and, i like a touch of reverb too just to give it a good edge to the song, thats a good distortion i think. contact me on YIM (Dekabreak_Omega) if you want any help on anything else guitar.

I have a Marshall Dfx 250 and a Line 6 Spider IV 120. Can I play my guitar through both amps at the same time? How?

STUPID QUESTION

Just wondering why these and some other guitar amps don’t have a back to the speaker box, seems like it would sound better and be louder if it did..

Most amps have an open back. guitar amps are far from high fidelity, so it probably does not matter much either way. They design amps to be loud and an open back probably helps to produce more sound.

so the stations don’t give the amp companies any free advertising.

Quality: good, great, or excellent/mind blowing
Price Range (most important) equal to or less than 200. and if it has to, 250.
size: doesnt really matter. but the smaller the better.
Guitar: Epiphone lespaul Standard

I dont want the mini ones. just a practice amp suitable for a house, cuz i dont wanna waste money on batteries

Thanks in advance

Line 6 Spider III or IV

I have been playing trombone for almost 7 years now. I understand the value of buying good equipment ,but i am not looking to spend a fortune on a guitar amp. Where can i find good prices on guitar amps ,and what model should i buy? Also, what kind of features/qualities make a good amp?

If you want a good reliable and affordable amp right out of the box. I would go with any of the line 6 amp models. They start at around 200 and go upwards…..The effects are included onboard the amps efx processor and there are enough things to keep you occupied and get the desired tone you need.

Setting them up is much easier than other amps i have encountered.

I really need to know so i know what to buy

A guitar amplifier (amp) is the electronic device used to take the signal that a guitar produces and amplify the signal to a much louder level so that it can then be ran to a speaker where the sound is reproduced much louder. The pickup on a guitar takes the mechanical motion of the string and converts it to a very weak electronic signal which is then sent to the input of the guitar amp. The amp takes this weak signal an proceeds to magnify that signal considerably and in the process adds aspects of tonal properties to it (equalization, etc.) it then sends this amplified signal to a loud speaker which converts it back into mechanical energy which we hear as sound. A combo amp has the amplifier and speaker all in one package. A head is an amplifier by itself without a speaker. It requires a speaker cabinet for operation. A speaker cabinet is a box with speakers in it (no amp)
A combo amp is the best bet for most playing because it has the versatility of having both an amp and a speaker in one package. These can range from very small practice amps to larger amps with 2 speakers and enough wattage to play at a loud volume. A separate amp head and speaker cabinet combination is usually used for very high volume situations.

I’m planning to make a jack that has 2 inputs.

will this work? or will it mess up the amp or guitar.

need someone with experience

Benny’s suggestion is valid, but if you want a little more versatility then you might want to look at an A/B or A/B/Y switch. This will let you turn on each amp individually or run them together.

That’s an entry-level box. The better ones will have transformer isolation between the two outputs to prevent ground loops:

And of course, the sky’s the limit. Some will also incorporate signal boost and programmability:

But, at least this gives you an idea of what’s out there.

Just be sure to plug both amps into the same power strip to minimize the ground loop. But splitting the guitar to 2 amps is no big deal and won’t mess up anything.

Good luck.
