Way back to the early days of the electric guitar, guitar players have shared a similar issue. While their massive guitar rigs sounded superb at a higher volume and worked out particularly well if performing at a large locale often it took volume to generate nice tone and this isn’t always a practical option if you reside in a densely populated area or simply need to practice your chops late in the evening.

In recent years however there have literally been a wave of quality made smaller mini amps flooding the market and while many were dismissive of the quality of these amplifiers early on it has got to be noted that most now receive positive reviews from guitarists and sell particularly well. Take the recent line of mini amps from Vox including the amPlug headphone amp which puts out a great sound and enables you to play in the privacy of your own headphones.

Modelling amps such as the line 6 spider range are also a good option if you want more tonal choice and accompanying effects. Now days guitarists actually do have an abundance of choice when hunting for a smaller amplifier to rehearse with.

If you are looking into a mini amp, micro amp, headphone amp or other practice amp it’s smart to take the time to think about your options as there are plenty of options available to guitar players now days. Online retailers usually offer consumers views and it can be a wise move to read over the comments conscientiously, you can actually learn rather a lot about what is available by researching online before even entering a music store.

Guitar amplifier technology has pushed forward to such an extent that tiny guitar amps under 10 watt can now generate some inspiring authentic sounding guitar tones and regularly are of a high enough quality that they can be effective in a recording environment.
