An amplifier is a natural or artificial device that is used to make an audio or any type of signal stronger as it passes through the device. There are many different types of amplifiers. Some, like acoustic guitars and cellos are acoustic or natural amplifiers and others that use electricity such as electric guitars and PA systems are electric or artificial amplifiers. Of course you have much more control over tone and volume with an artificial amplifier but the quality of sound of a natural amplifier is usually preferred by picky musicians.
If you have ever wondered the difference between the types of available amplification and what is actually considered an amplifier then wonder no more. Our expert, Jim Dufresne, is here to shed some light on this subject by identifying many amplification devices that you might not even consider to be as such and explain how the work and how to use them. So lets get jamming!
