Great Solid State Guitar Amps Under $400
About a month ago, we took a look at a few great tube combo amplifiers priced under $600 that we feel provided the best value for the money. Today, we'd like to give the same treatment to the solid state amplifier! While they might not be regarded with the same amount of praise as their tube brethren, solid state amplifiers are by far more durable and affordable. But just because tube amps are still king doesn't mean you can't find a great solid state amplifier that sounds great. Below, we take a look at four solid state amps that we feel offer the best bang for your buck.
Easy to use and versatile enough for any style of guitar playing, the 100-watt Champion 100 is an ideal choice as a powerful 2x12” practice amp and affordable stage amp. Straightforward controls, cool effects and versatile amp voicings make it easy to dial in just the right sounds for rock, blues, metal, country, jazz and more. Coming in at $349.99, you'll have a hard time finding a better solid state combo amp that features the high-quality work that Fender amps are known for.
