Sound Amplifier
June 18th, 2008
Is there a way to make a crappy amplifier sound good?
Or even just decent
i don't really want to buy an expensive one if i dont have to 
You didn't mention what kind of amp you have, what style of music you play, and what you don't like about the amp (besides, it's crappy).
I would not recommend changing out the speakers. Better speakers will just reveal more flaws in the amp design.
In fact, if you think the amp is that bad, don't put any money into it at all. There's an expression that my dad used to use..."You can't polish a turd". No matter what you do, you'll have the same preamp, tone stack, and power section.
There are lots of good amps out there for less than $500 (and I don't consider that an expensive amp....my $3500 Matchless is an expensive amp).
Take your guitar out to the store, tell 'em what kind of music you want to play and what your budget is. Then listen to a few amps and decide what you like.
Good luck.
