Guitar Amps for the Budget-Minded

Modern guitar amps benefit from the same electronic advances which revolutionized music in the second half of the twentieth century. At a fraction of the cost of the original tube guitar amps, today's guitar amps offer features that enhance both recording sessions and live performances.

AudioMan has selected the following moderately priced guitar amps from seven respected manufacturers - Fender, Gorilla, Nady, Pignose, Traveler, Washburn and Zoom - for use on the road and in the studio.

Read all about it in our product review of Guitar Amps.

Do you have pro-audio questions? AudioMan's got answers!

Tobias B. asks:

We would like to purchase the Fender Passport PD 250 for use at the US Embassy in Madrid. Does it have a 110/220V switch?

Hi Tobias,

The Fender Passport Deluxe PD 250 can be purchased in either the 110 or 220 volt version. Simply indicate your preference on the order form at secure web checkout, or alert one of our sales reps if you order over the phone.

By the way, did you notice the sale on the Fender Passport Deluxe PD 150 and PD 250 models?

Order either one and get a compatible speaker stand kit for only $1 more

That's a savings of over $120.00!

Mike S. wants to know:

I have a new TV with audio outputs and I would like your best product to help me hear so I don't blast the sleeping people into the next block. Can you help?

Hello Mike,

Take a look at the Williams Sound Infrared TV Listening System, which allows audio output direct to your personalized headset receiver, or keep the TV volume low by using the built in microphone to send a boosted infrared signal to your headset. Now you can watch the late, late, late movie without disturbing your neighbors!

Hope this helps!

Henrietta J. sent in this request:

At our church we are making copies of the Sunday sermon and it's becoming more popular. We have a copier that makes one copy at a time. Is there something better?

Hi Henrietta,

The Recordex Sound Master II model 400 is a one-to-two, four track and four channel stereo tape duplicator that produces two copies from a cassette master at 16 times normal speed.

Using "One Button Operation", it sets the audio levels, starts two-sided duplication and rewinds all three tapes to finish the process. Operating in manual mode allows you to adjust audio levels to your liking by monitoring the individual VU and volume indicators. It's so simple to use we say "it's as easy as 1-2-2!"

Thanks for your inquiry!

Keep those calls, cards and letters coming. Maybe we'll feature your question in an upcoming issue!
