Acoustic guitars are beloved for their rich, natural sound that requires no amplification, making them perfect for intimate settings, songwriting, and practice. Available in various shapes and sizes—from full-bodied dreadnoughts to smaller parlour and travel models—they offer diverse tonal qualities to suit different playing styles. This category includes steel-string and classical guitars, along with accessories like cases, strings, and picks, providing everything you need to enjoy the pure, resonant tones of acoustic playing.
An amplifier, or amp, is a device that boosts the electrical signal from your guitar to produce sound through speakers. It plays a crucial role in shaping your tone and controlling volume. Amplifiers come in various types, including valve (tube), solid-state, and digital modelling, each offering different sound characteristics. Whether used for practice, recording, or live performance, an amp helps bring your guitar’s voice to life with clarity, power, and personality.
Guitar amps and cabs are just as crucial to a guitarist’s tone as the guitar itself. Amplifiers shape the sound—whether it’s clean and warm, crunchy and bluesy, or full-on distortion for rock and metal. They come in two main types: combo amps, which include both the amp and speaker in one unit, and amp heads, which are paired with separate cabinets (cabs) to project the sound.
Cabs come in various sizes, like 1×12, 2×12, or the mighty 4×12, each delivering different tone and feel. Speakers, cabinet wood, and even open vs closed backs all influence the sound. Matching the right amp and cab gives players control over their dynamics, tone, and presence—whether you’re playing in your bedroom, a studio, or on a festival stage.
Watt is a unit of power that measures the output strength of a guitar amplifier. In amps, watts indicate how much electrical power the amp can deliver to the speakers, which generally correlates to loudness and headroom. For example, a 5-watt amp is great for bedroom practice or studio use with natural tube breakup at low volume, while a 100-watt amp can fill large venues with clean or distorted tones. However, wattage alone doesn’t determine tone quality—it’s about how the amp uses that power and how it interacts with speakers and effects.

Along with products that carry the BOSS brand, the BOSS engineering team has been involved with developing key Roland-branded guitar products since the beginning.
