Transistor amplifiers

Transistor

— amplifiers of this type are relatively simple and inexpensive, while being able to provide quite acceptable sound quality (although, of course, everything depends on the class). It is the “transitor” that is recommended for beginner guitarists as the first “combo”, although there are quite advanced models among such devices. Of the unequivocal advantages of transistor circuits, one can name the durability of the components and the ability to easily transfer frequent carrying from place to place. As for the sound, in such devices it turns out to be more “dry”, “flat” and “cold” than in tube models, which many consider to be a clear disadvantage. At the same time, in the case of electric guitars, even this is quite enough for initial training, rehearsals and not very “fancy” performances; in addition, some transistor amplifiers use specific signal processing to give the sound a tube-like sound. And combo amplifiers for acoustic guitars are overwhelmingly made with transistors.
