5 Direct Solutions To Replace Your Guitar Amp

We all love guitar amps but it seems there are less and less places to crank them up. Whether on silent stages or in small recording studios with volume limits, we all need to go plug in direct sometimes. So check out these alternatives to traditional amps.

I'm so glad this video came on my reccomended feed. I have a question. Did you use a di box with the joyo or did you go direct to a pa system?

[aaronlopez]

I use a line 6 pod go and it’s honestly great. The digital amp modeling I think sounds as good if not better then the iridium, you just need to dial it in. And with for about the same price and being able to use pedals. It’s amazing what you can do with it

I'll take my ToneX as my new solution. Live, home recording, practice, it does so many things well. I barely touch my Kemper Stage at this point.

[trunks]

Still think the powered kemper is the best thing out not for sounds because all of them sound great but the ability to use it as a power amp into a cab without having to have anything else. I use a hx stomp and have been since 2019 has served me well. As for bass I use the stomp most times with a sans amp patch I made but still use a sans amp rbi most times.

Nice comparison....that distortion patch has a lot of harsh high end frequencies so it is more difficult to hear the differences!

[nekkon]

Well, a decent lightweight tube combo is the way to go

[truthfactreality]

I’ve had all the modellers etc. best thing ever is the Friedman irx

"Replace guitar your amp"? You work this hard editing a video, but don't make sure the grammar is correct on the thumbnail? Why do so many influencers do this?
