A 1×12 (pronounced “one by twelve”) refers to a guitar or bass amplifier cabinet that contains one 12-inch speaker. It’s a common size for both combo amps and speaker cabinets, offering a balance between portability and full-bodied sound. A 1×12 setup is often favoured for its warm tone, focused projection, and manageable size—ideal for small gigs, studio sessions, or home use.
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 combo amp is a guitar amplifier that combines both the amplifier head and speaker(s) into a single, portable unit. This all-in-one design makes combo amps convenient for practice, recording, and gigging without needing separate components. They come in a variety of sizes and power levels, from small practice models to powerful stage-ready amps. Combo amps offer versatility and ease of use, making them popular among guitarists of all levels.
