I'm thinking of buying an electric guitar
  • If your going to get a guitar with built in effects, I would also look into getting a keyboard amp. Your guitar will have digital cabinets built in, which sound horrible when played through a guitar amp.

    When using the built in cabinets, your guitar will process the sound of a guitar speaker onto the signal from the guitar. Guitars are designed to be listened through guitar speakers, so they sound weird without them. The inverse is also bad. if you process your guitar signal with a guitar speaker then send it into a guitar amplifier with a guitar speaker, you double dip with the sound of the speaker and you get the opposite but equally worse problem.

    If you want to play amplified with all the effects you have, then you'll need a keyboard amp. The speaker in a keyboard amp is designed to not affect the sound, which will let you use the guitars speaker simulations without double dipping with effects.

    You could also just turn the speaker sim off, which is far easier.

    Sincerely, someone who couldn't figure out why their guitar sounded horrible for a week.
