The Four Types Of Guitar Amps
There are a few different types of guitar amplifiers that are on the market today for you to choose from. If you are shopping for a new amp, it's good to decide which type you will want because they are all very different.
The first type of amps that came along had to be the tube amplifiers. Funny thing is, even though the technology of tube amps is fairly old, these amps are still used widely among pro and beginner guitar players. The reason for their popularity is that the tone of these amps is usually very warm and natural compared to the other types. Not only do they sound better, they are usually louder than amps of other types and the same power level. The only thing to remember with tube amps is that they require maintenance because the vacuum tubes need to be periodically changed.
Usually there are two types of tubes in an amp - the preamp section and the power section. Common tubes are 12AX7, 6L6, EL34, and many more.
There are many different brands of guitar amps that use tubes -- Marshall, Soldano, Peavey, Genz-Benz, Mesa Boogie and many others -- especially older and vintage guitar amps.
Solid state amps were invented to replace tube amps (which didn't happen!). Basically, the main difference between tube and solid state amps is that solid state uses transistors instead of tubes. They also require almost no maintenance because there are no tubes to change.
This is not to say that solid state amps are not as good as tube, it just all depends on the application and type of music you are going to be playing.
Some guitarists prefer colliding the two and making what is called a hybrid amp. This type of amps marries both tube and transistor amps into one. Usually there are tubes at one stage of amplification and transistors at the other stage (preamp and power amp)
Recently, digital amps were introduced. These amps use computers and integrated circuits to create the various tones in the amps. Usually, there are a number of different types of effects and tons that you can get. These amps are very versatile.
Examples of some digital amps are Vox Valvetronix, Line6, and a few more. These amps are great if you want to play all different types of music with different types of guitars.

How to calculate amps used by overhead lights?
I'm trying to figure out the amount of electricity used on this one circuit (on average) so that I don't overload it, but I'm stuck on the overhead lights. Each one has 3 bulbs in it, and each of those is the 60 watt non-squiggly kind. So if I have two of those overhead lights on, that would be 60 watts * 6 = 360 watts total. Then take 360 watts / 120 volts = 3 amps in use. Is that correct or do lights use different amounts when they are turned on vs. left on for a while?
You got it. FYI: the actual load on any breaker (fuse) should ALWAYS be rated at 80% of the the breakers rating. In other words, a 15 amp circuit should pull no more than 12 amps. A 20 amp circuit should pull no more than 16 amps. Just in case you didn't know. Good luck in all you do and may God Bless.
