How we ranked these guitar amps

Every pick ranks in Amazon's best-seller list for its category and has a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: digital guitar amplifier

Match wattage to your playing needs

The three amps differ in wattage: the Fender is 100 W, the Pyle is 40 W and the Epiphone is 15 W. Compare those figures against the power you want from the amp, and pick the figure that fits your playing needs. Wattage is one figure among several, so check it together with effects, inputs and weight before you decide.

Check built-in effects and rhythm options

The Fender has built-in effects, and the Epiphone has onboard effects including Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo, Delay and Reverb. The Epiphone also has a built-in 36-pattern electronic rhythm module with adjustable tempo and volume. The Pyle has overdrive and digital delay. Compare the effect sets side by side, and pick the amp whose effects match the sounds you want to use.

Compare weight before you move the amp

The Fender weighs 45.2 lb, the Pyle weighs 17.2 lb and the Epiphone weighs 10.4 lb. The Epiphone holds the Lightest Pick label in this list. If you move the amp between rooms or carry it in a car, compare the weight figures first. Weight alone does not decide the pick, so check it together with wattage, effects and inputs.
