If you are looking to purchase or have recently purchased an electric guitar, you may be interested in buying an amplifier. Of course, there are many different types of amplifiers, but if you are serious about your music and your sound, then you should take a look at guitar amp heads. Amplifier heads are a way to ensure the highest quality of sound passing through to your amplifier.
If you are not familiar with guitar amp heads, you should know that they are not an amplifier that has a speaker; they are used to transmit the signal to an attached speaker cabinet. Guitar amp heads are often included in combination amplifier sets, which usually contain a cabinet of several speakers.

They are also sold as individual pieces and are often bought separately from other amplifiers. A musician of any experience level can find use in a guitar amplifier head, whether it’s used for a guitarist in a high school band or a recording artist on tour.
You can find guitar amp heads for sale at any major music store, like a Guitar Center or J&R Computer and Music World. Be careful when browsing different products because they range vastly in price. They range vastly in price, with the lowest quality ones starting around $100, and can easily cost thousands for record label studio level guitar amp heads.
Blackheart produces some of the best affordable guitar amp heads around. Their products are often stylish, while still maintaining quality sound. The Blackheart Little Giant BH5H is a great value at $150. The Little Giant has 4 dials allowing a guitarist the ability to control his amplifier cabinet from a central location: the bass, treble, middle and overall volume. If you’ve never dealt with guitar amp heads before, you hopefully can hopefully imagine the benefit of having controlling all your sound from a single panel. Another great amp head on the less expensive side is the Vox AC4TVH, which has a more classic look with a tan front and white leather casing. This amp head has been pretty much untouched for the past 50 years and has a very distinct sound that is reminiscent of music of the 1960s.
When people buy guitar amp heads, it’s also common to get a guitar amp head case. If you’re a traveling musician, it may be a good idea to protect your investment by getting a steel case. Some of the guitar amp heads on the market have them included, so that is something you want to look out for. Guitar amp head cases can be expensive, with some of the cheaper ones being about $200. So if there’s a amp head with casing included, all the better.
