So I ask this (out of curiosity), if I were looking to buy an guitar amp that was very clear, warm, bassy, jazzy, etc, (for non-metal music and non-distortion heavy music, with the amp having pretty bare-bones effects) and with money not being an issue, what amps would any of you recommend for really better, tighter sounds with the above characteristics? And would paying a lot of money on a higher-end amp result in large, noticeable improvements in sound, or would that be a waste of money because basic tube amp technology remains the same as 30 years ago and a guitar amp is a guitar amp? And what amps do really successful, great sounding, well produced bands use and record in their professional recording studio? Are they recording the same amps that the at-home amateur music hobbyists are recording? ( And when I say high-end amps, I mean amps that cost over say $1500 and can reach a price that is pretty high). Because for most other gear out there (acoustic guitars, electric guitars, microphones, etc), there is a good amount of high-end gear available and a lot of the time when you buy high-end equipment you get your money's worth in regards to better sounds or other improvements (or so I've found). So I'm wondering if there are high-end guitar amps that cost more for clear-cut better sounds, better sound quality, tone, etc, rather than more power and features. Otherwise, it appeared that most guitar amps were in a certain modest cost range and that the only thing making some amps more expensive was that they were bigger and more powerful (designed for shows) or had more built-in effects settings like reverb, tremelo, distortion, amp modeling, etc. And it seemed like most of the higher priced guitar amps out there were either artist-named special editions, boutique amps, or vintage remakes with most of them being "hand wired" which greatly increased the cost. So my curiosity had me wondering are there high-end guitar amps out there? And if there are, would the additional cost have the benefits of better, tighter sounds and better tones, etc?īecause it seemed to me there weren't many expensive high-end amps out there, (or so I thought until I did some thorough research online).
