Acoustic Guitar Amplifiers | Tanglewood

Acoustic Guitar Amplifier Range

An acoustic guitar amplifier lets an electro-acoustic guitar be heard in a bigger room, at a rehearsal or on a small stage. This page lists two Tanglewood amplifiers, with prices from £49 to £599. Both belong to the Tanglewood Amplifiers series, so you can compare them side by side.

The Range at a Glance

The top of the range is the Tanglewood T6, at £599. It is the larger investment and suits a player who gigs or wants a more serious setup. The other amplifier in the range starts at £49 and is the cheaper way to get going at home. Open each product page for its full features, so you can choose the size and price that fit your playing.

Which Guitar to Plug In

An acoustic amplifier is meant for an instrument with built in electronics. That means an electro-acoustic guitar, or an electro-acoustic version of a ukulele or bass. If your guitar has no pickup, it will need electronics before it can feed an amp. Look at our acoustic guitars and check which models list electronics on their pages.

Players looking for an electric guitar amplifier should note that this range is made around acoustic instruments. The amps here are not an electric guitar amplifier in the high gain sense, so check what you need before buying.

Choosing a Size

The gap between £49 and £599 is wide, so think about where the amp will live. A small amp is easy to move, quiet enough for a bedroom and kind to a tight budget. A larger one gives more volume and presence for playing with other people. Think about staying at home or taking it out, since weight and size matter once you carry it. Whichever you pick, you can always upgrade later and keep the first as a practice amp.

Getting Connected

You will need a lead to link the guitar to the amp. A cable from our guitar cables range does the job, and it is worth taking a spare. A good guitar amplifier cable is cheap compared with a lost gig.

Choose the smaller amp for practice and the home.

Add a lead and a tuner before you play out.

A tuner keeps the amplified sound true, and a gig bag protects the guitar on the way. See the whole guitar accessories section for more, with free UK delivery.
