FAQs
What amp wattage do I need for gigs? For drummers and live rooms, start around 30–50W (solid-state) or 15–40W (valve). Larger venues often need 50–100W+ or PA support.
Are modelling amps good for beginners? Yes—great tones at low volume, built-in effects, and direct recording make them ideal for learning and practice.
Can I gig with a 15W valve amp? Often yes—with efficient speakers and PA miking. Valve watts are loud, and many classic recordings used 15–22W amps.
What’s the difference between 1×12 and 2×12? 1×12 is lighter and focused; 2×12 adds spread, headroom, and low-end—perfect for bigger stages.
