Guitar Amplifier Buying Guide: Combo Amps

For the musician on the go, or for those with space and budget constraints, a full- or even half-stack just isn't practical. Solution: The "combo" amp. Combining the guts of an amplifier head with a set of one or more speakers in various sizes is where these amps get their nickname. With an all-in-one combo amp, you don't have to worry about matching speakers to heads -- these amps are ready to play right out of the box.

In this combo amp buying guide, you'll find our favorite guitar combo amps broken down by price. There's an amp for every budget!
