What is an Amplifier?
An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the magnitude of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current).
It is a two-port electronic circuit that uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude (magnitude of the voltage or current) of a signal applied to its input terminals, producing a proportionally greater amplitude signal at its output.

How many watts is a good amplifier?
If you play with a drummer, for live gigs in small to mid-size venues, you should aim for a 20W to 60W tube amp or a 40W to 60W+ watt solid state.
For larger venues aim for a 20W to 100W+ tube amplifier, or 50W to 100W+ solid-state especially if you’re playing big stages and outdoor festivals.
Which type of amplifier is best?
Which class is best depends on your needs:
- Class A design is the least efficient but has the highest sound fidelity.
- Class B design is a little more efficient but full of distortion.
- Class AB design offers power efficiency and good sound.
- Class D design has the highest efficiency and smallest footprint.
