Guitar amplifiers can be confusing for beginners as it is basically a piece of electrical equipment that is comprised of different electronics wired together that it makes your electronic guitar sound better. How exactly do these different parts work together to make your electric guitar work?

Understanding an amplifier can be confusing at first, but doing so will help you gain a better appreciation for your guitar gear and equipment, especially if you encounter vintage amp parts and marvel at how well they hold up over time.

An amplifier has basic components, and these are the following:

1. The amplifier

This is the component that adds the signal from your electric guitar so you can hear it clearly.

2. The cabinet

This is the case that holds all the other components intact inside.

3. The effects processors

This is the part that helps you alter the sound output according to your preference.

4. The knobs, dials, or buttons

These are the components that allow you to change the volume or the special effects of the amplifier.

5. The speakers

These are the components that allow you to change the volume or the special effects of the amplifier.

How does a guitar amplifier work?

1. Plug the electric guitar into the input jack.
2. The guitar sound enters the preamplifier or preamp as a signal. The preamp is an electronic amplifier which works to convert the electrical signal coming from the electric guitar and converts it into a stronger output signal which will be sent into a power amplifier and a speaker.

If it is not present in the amplifier, the sound produced will be noisy and distorted. If the preamp of your guitar amplifier is having issues, the first sign would a final signal that is distorted and full of noise.

3. After passing the preamp, the signal will pass the effects processor which can be altered accordingly.
4. The master volume lets you control the output of the sound and the strength it has as it exits the amplifier.
5. The final amp increases the final signal output.
6. The signal will pass as an output signal into the speaker built in the cabinet or via the output cable.

1. Amplification
2. Inputs
3. Effects
4. Speakers

There are guitar amplifiers that are more complex for guitar players that want more power and increased sound output. They will need a “stack”. As a beginner, you will need a minimum of two boxes for your stack which is made up of the head and the cabinet amplifier.

You can build a bigger and more complex set-up, but it may take a lot of space and can be challenging to manage when you are always on the road.
