How Do You Use A Guitar Amp?
Use a guitar amp to get rich full sound from any guitar. Add sound effects and combinations of effects to produce different tones and style variations. Amps create several possibilities for sounds from guitars and styles of play. In addition to altering vibrations, amplifiers increase volume and carry sound over distances for large crowds to hear. Some guitar amps are manufactured specifically for use with an electric guitar, acoustic guitar or bass guitar. Yet they all work on the same premise. Plug in the amplifier and turn the power switch on. For old amps using tubes, allow a few minutes warming time. Plug one end of a cord into the output on the guitar. Plug the other end of the cord into one of the channel intakes on the amp. For acoustic guitars without output plugs, use a pick–up. Insert the clamp of a pick–up in the sound hole under the strings of an acoustic guitar. Plug the cable into an amp channel. Increase the overall amplifier volume with the “gain” control knob. Adjus
