There comes a point in every guitarist's career when the kid gloves have to come off and you want something even bigger than your combo amp. Whether that means your first gig in a large venue with a powerful speaker cabinet or setting up a home recording studio that demands standalone amplification, a hybrid guitar amplifier head is the critical component that links your guitar with the signal's destination. Whether you're an experienced musician or a novice, you're probably familiar with the two main types of amplifiers: solid-state and tube amps. Many guitarists swear by the characteristic tone and distortion of tube amps, while others are partial to the clean sound and simplicity of solid-state circuits. While neither side of the debate is right or wrong, sometimes you'll find the sweet spot to be right in the middle. That's where hybrid amplifier heads enter the picture. These amps use a combination of tubes and solid-state technology, putting each to use where it performs its best. You'll find tubes in the preamp section of nearly any hybrid amp, since the preamp's job is to form the amplifier's tone and that's where tubes really shine. In the power section, a hybrid amp is either solid-state or it uses a customized mix of tubes and solid-state transistors called MOSFETs. In either case, the hybrid power section reins in the amplifier's sound to keep it clear and focused while boosting the power to drive your speakers. Standard adjustments on a hybrid, as with any amp head, include tone and gain controls for adjusting the performance of the preamp tubes. But you can have as many bells and whistles as you want with certain models offering boutique voice settings that are unique to their brand. These sorts of adjustments and effects are some of the biggest factors that separate hybrid amplifier heads, since each manufacturer will include their own library of tweaks. Hybrid guitar amplifier heads are ideal for the stage or the studio. One of these machines is the middle-man between your guitar and your speakers or mixer, so your selection of amp head is almost as important as your choice of guitar. With a hybrid amp, you'll get the distinctive tone of tubes together with the control and polish of a solid-state power section, which makes it a solid choice for any guitarist.
