This page focuses on Valve Combo Guitar Amplifiers which include a fully valve circuit design with tubes in the pre-amplifier section and the power output section. The guitar amplifier circuit is then combined with the speaker cabinet within the same wooden cabinet, making it a combo (Amplifier plus Speaker). Combo valve guitar amplifiers come in a wide range of sizes and output powers, from small practice valve guitar amps, 1W to 10W, to large gig ready 100W units matched with multiple speaker cabinets.
Valve combo guitar amplifiers are available for lead guitar and bass guitar. Each of these will have a different circuit to handle the tone ranges of the instrument. Vintage valve guitar amplifiers from the 50s and 60s are now sought after and change hands for large sums of money. Luckily, many clones of these vintage all tube amps are available at a fraction of the cost.
Practice Valve Combo Guitar Amplifiers
A small 5w vintage valve guitar amplifier combo featured on many famous recordings by players like Chuck Berry, ZZ Top and Led Zeppellin. By driving a small valve amplifier hard in the studio a unique tone was gained without massive amounts of volume. The original vintage designs have now been replicated by companies like Supro guitar amps, Bugera guitar amps and many more.

Valve Combo Guitar Amplifiers Explained
A combo style guitar amplifier includes the power amplifier in the same cabinet as the speaker. The amplifiers are powered by valves (or Tubes in the USA). Valve guitar amplifiers have a unique tone quality and many of the current models are based on classic designs upgraded with modern fabrication methods. Valves or vacuum tubes dominant in most instrument amplifier applications until the 1970s, when solid-state semiconductors (transistors) started taking over.
Valve guitar amplifier enthusiasts believe that tube amps produce a “warmer” sound and a more natural “overdrive” sound. You will often hear guitar players talking about tone and this refers mainly to the sound from a valve guitar amplifier. While valve or tube technology is, in many ways, outdated, tube guitar amplifiers remain popular since many guitarists prefer their sound.
