Solid State Amp Heads

Solid State Amp Heads are a favourite among guitarists who regularly gig and tour, due to their reliability, fantastic tone, and portability. Utilising transistors to amplify the signal rather than valves, solid state heads are often can be thought of as more reliable as there are no valves to wear out. Solid State amps offer a lot of headroom for clean tones and have only gotten better over the years now offering fantastic high gain tones that are often indistinguishable from valve amps and sound superb at their own rate.

Solid state heads don't come with their own cabinet or speaker making them extremely portable, and with the introduction of pedalboard amps a huge range of tones can be accessed from a pedalboard rig. If you wish to use a pedalboard amp with a cabinet it is important to remember there must be a power amp to power the cabinet, the Seymour Duncan Powerstage is an excellent choice if you need an external power amp.

A solid state amp head is a great choice for a musician or player at any level, bedroom players will get a huge range of tones in a compact package. Touring musicians will have a reliable setup that can be easily transported around the world.
