Big guitar amp sound without big cash.

Here’s one solution for getting killer tones on the road that won’t axe murder your budget: learn to get the most out of cheap amplifiers. A cheap amp won’t have fancy turns like point-to-point hand-wiring, state-of-the-art speakers, or even, necessarily, the best tubes, but with some modifications and patience, they can bark, snarl and purr similar to fancy best-in-shows. Or at least close enough for rock ’n’ roll.
