Tip O' the Week- Where can I try some amps?
Mon, 12/27/2010 - 16:36
This tip is a re-run, but it deserves repeating. I often hear people say "I sure wish I could try some amps before buying one, but where can you try out a bunch of amps?" The answer is at a guitar and amp show in your area. These shows are held in BIG rooms that are filled with amps (and yes, guitars too). If you bring your mic, harps, and plenty of patience, you can learn a lot about how amps sound in a couple of hours. SF Bay Area people have a show coming up January 8th and 9th at the Marin Civic Center.
Also, if you EVER get a chance, attend a SPAH convention. They are very fun and informative.
