10 Reviews: Best Guitar Amplifier For Beginners (Apr 2024)

The battery-operated iRig Micro Amp is a little amp that gives you greater flexibility. There are three custom-voiced analog channels in this amp: clean, driving, and lead, all rated as 15W RMS. You can learn new songs, practice your favorite licks, perform with backing tracks, and even record your own compositions with ease.

The Yamaha THR10 Desktop amp is perfect for when you need an amp directly in front of your face while training. Because of its tiny size and low weight, it’s ideal for use at home. Yamaha guitars have typically been among the most dependable on the market. They’ve put their skills to good use by creating a practice amp that is both small and stable.

This is a very good portable guitar amp. I bought it for practice, but now I use it all around the house, all the time. It sounds so good for the size, blows my mind every time I use it. The low volume amp/sound quality is very satisfying through the amp speakers and through reference headphones...............

It can be easy to get where you need to go with just one knob. Because of its small size and simple layout, the Fender Pro Junior IV can take you back to the Tweed era while still giving you the tonal range to meet the needs of the modern guitar player today. When you play, this tonal combination reacts very quickly to what you do. This means that it will shape your style and make your practice sessions more effective.

What an amp! Saw this on the Sweetwater list of beginner amps and wish I had this many years ago. Have had for several months, and it still puts a smile on my face every time I plug into it. The simple layout sold me... just volume, tone, your guitars volume, and your fingers. Really sings when driven with creamy OD from the Jensen speaker.

The Fishman Loudbox Mini BT acoustic combo is great for both practicing and performing. It was made for acoustic guitarists and singers and songwriters. Bluetooth allows you to connect your smartphone to the amp so you can play back tracks or other accompaniment. The built-in chorus and reverb effects are ready to give your tone that extra sparkle. It also has a balanced XLR DI output so you can connect it to a bigger sound system, which is great for performing.

The Fishman Loudbox Mini I received from Sweetwater is quite the versatile piece of adjunct equipment everyone should have. It seems to do it all. I use it to play music via Bluetooth from my cell phone (Pandora) for personal use or at a venue, such as a family gathering or church picnic. Access to electricity required. Pairing Bluetooth was pretty simple and quick.

Combo amps are great for practicing, but it’s a whole different thing to have the best one for your money. You can get tons of great sounds in a cheap package. The Marshall Code 25 digital combo amp fits this description to a T. It has over 100 high-quality presets that can help you make your music sound better at home, on the road, or in the studio, no matter where you are.

Head, cabinet and effects rack all in 1. Bought it on a hunch. With foot controller. Amazed by the sound quality. And loud if you need it to be. It's a little bit of a learning curve but once you dial it in, nice! The lag is fixed by building your presets using common heads. I

The Roland CUBE Street EX combo amplifier was made to be as easy to move around as possible. It’s just as good for busking on the street as it is for practicing at home. An amplifier with two 8-inch speakers makes a surprising amount of noise. It has extra inputs for a vocal microphone or an external music player.

This is the finest amp i have ever used for doing accoustic music.We have eliminated our PA system for small venues and have stuck with the cube.It does everything as addvertised...............

Amplification is important when you play an acoustic guitar, but it’s easy to forget about it, which is a bad idea. As an example, you could use the Fender Acoustasonic 15 combo amplifier. It doesn’t take up a lot of space, and it will put your playing under a magnifying glass (so to speak) so that you can better see how far you’ve come as a player. With the Acoustasonic 15, you can even sing along while you play. If you want to play in front of a small group, you’ll be able to do it with ease.

Perfectly simple little amp for guitar or the ukulele. Very intuitive to use. Simple but functional EQ, and it even has a built in chorus effect. It also works for a low volume clean tone w an electric. Obviously this isn't a super loud amp, and I'm pretty sure it would be easy to blow

There’s still room for great tone even if you’re short on space with the Fender Frontman 10G combo amp. The Frontman 10G has two selectable channels: normal and drive. It has 10 watts and drives a 6-inch speaker. Music players can be plugged into the wall, so you can play your favorite songs while your roommates don’t have to hear them.

I was looking for a good sounding smaller starting amp for my grandbabies. This one fits the bill at a great price and service. I blinked and it was here. I really think I have found another great sight for music. Now I got to order more.

In the event that you’re confident that you want the raw growl of a British tube amp, but you’d prefer it in a more compact form factor, go no further than the Vox AC10C1. With this Vox amp, which is a part of their Custom Series, they’ve created a bridge between their 4W and 15W amps, providing a versatile alternative that can be used both in the studio and on small stages.

This thing is awesome for clean sounds and for running delay reverb and modulation. It sounds horrible if you press that little overdrive button though but that's not why I bought this thing. I wanted a really bright clean amp and this thing's exceeded my expectations!!!

This is Fender’s Mustang series, and it has been around for a long time. It’s designed for beginners and anyone who needs a good practice amp. In fact, the Fender Mustang LT 25 combo amp is no different. Its 30 hand-picked presets make it the “greatest hits” of the Mustang family, because they recreate many of the most sought-after tones in rock history, It’s more than enough power for practicing or busking. It has Headphone Out and Aux In features so you can play along with your favorite songs while listening to music through headphones.

Being , new player I was hesitant to spend 150 for an amp, but thanks to Nick Rice he pointed out it is worth it. And I am very happy with my purchase. This is an amazing little amp. Plenty of presets, plenty of options, and plenty of power. With the Fender name on it you know they don't make junk, and with ordering from Sweetwater yo know they don't sell junk
