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: guitar amp for blues

Match watts and speaker to the job

Watts are the amp's power figure, and speaker size shapes how much low end it carries. The Demusea and STRICH amps run 20W, the Fender runs 15W, and the GLARRY pack adds a 20W amp beside a full-size guitar. The Demusea has a 5-inch speaker and the Fender has a 12-inch Celestion speaker, so compare the speaker size with the watts before you buy.

Check channels and controls before you buy

Channels decide how you switch sounds. The STRICH amp has Clean and Overdrive channels for rock, pop or blues, while the Demusea has gain, bass, treble and volume controls with a guitar input and an aux in. The Fender has spring reverb and a 1-button footswitch for a fat Mid boost, so compare the controls before you choose.

Look at what comes in the box

Accessories change what you still need to buy. The Demusea box holds a 3-meter cable, picks, an aux cable, an earphone and a 6.5mm to 3.5mm adapter. The STRICH amp comes with a guitar cable, and the GLARRY pack holds a guitar, a bag, a strap, picks, a tremolo arm and a spanner tool. The Fender comes with a 1-button footswitch.
