Guitar Amp Noise

A guitar amplifier is an electronic piece of equipment designed to make the signal of an electric or acoustic guitar louder so that it will produce sound through a loudspeaker. The earliest examples appeared in the early 1930s when the introduction of electrolytic capacitors and rectifier tubes allowed the production of economical built-in power supplies that could be plugged into wall sockets. Electronic amplification of guitars was widely popularized in the 1930s and 1940s craze for Hawaiian music. In the 1960s, guitarists experimented with distortion produced by deliberately overdriving their amplifiers. The Kinks guitarist Dave Davies produced early distortion effects by connecting the already distorted output of one amplifier into the input of another.
