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 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.
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.

Tube refers to vacuum tube technology used in guitar amplifiers to amplify the signal. Tube amps are celebrated for their warm, rich, and dynamic tone, producing natural overdrive and smooth distortion when pushed. They respond sensitively to a player’s touch and playing style, offering expressive sound shaping that many musicians prefer. Although tube amps require more care and maintenance than solid-state models, their classic sound and feel keep them popular among guitarists worldwide.
