The world of guitar amps is very diverse, but in some ways it’s also like a small group of planets in a solar system. There’s the custom built hand wired amps that cost a mint and then there’s the foreign made amps that sound great but won’t hold up on the road. Too often these imports are put in bus cargo bays and bounce from city to city. Even in a good road case, the solder joints just can’t hack it.

The hand wired ones cost up to five times more and hold up better, but still require TLC. Let’s look as some of the best guitar amps under $1000 that will serve you well.
