An amp, short for amplifier, is a crucial piece of equipment that boosts the signal from your guitar or other instruments, allowing you to control volume and shape your tone. Guitar amps come in various styles, including valve (tube), solid-state, and digital modelling, each offering unique sound characteristics. Whether you’re practicing at home, recording in the studio, or playing live, the right amp can make all the difference in achieving your desired sound—from clean and crisp to rich overdrive and distortion.
A cab—short for cabinet—is the speaker enclosure that projects your guitar amp’s sound to the room. Cabs come in various sizes and speaker configurations, like 1×12, 2×12, or the classic 4×12 setup popular in rock and metal. The type of wood, construction (open or closed back), and speaker choice all influence the tone, response, and volume. Matching the right cab with your amp head is key to shaping your overall sound, whether you want tight, punchy lows, smooth mids, or bright, cutting highs. It’s where your amp’s power turns into the rich, full sound you hear on stage or in the studio.
A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.
