Summary: An amplifier is a natural or artificial device that is used to make 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. Other amplifiers that use electricity such as electric guitars and PA systems are electric or artificial amplifiers. Although you have much more control over tone and volume with an artificial amplifier, the quality of sound of a natural amplifier is usually preferred by musicians.

If you have ever wondered about 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! Watch as Jim identifies many amplification devices and explains how they work and how to use them. Dufresne provides details on the history of amplifiers and even describes the art of tone control in detail. So, grab your guitars and let's get jamming!
