- Multi-amp guitar rigs use two or more amplifiers to create a unique tone that could not be achieved with the use of only one amplifier. Guitar players such as James Valentine (Maroon 5) and use multiple amplifiers simultaneously to achieve their tones. Session guitar players such as Brent Mason often bring four or more amplifiers to recording sessions. There are many different types of guitar amplifiers that have drastically different sounds. There are three classic guitar amplifier circuits that most amplifiers are based on that all use different power amplifier tubes: The EL84 powered class A circuits which comes from the Vox AC30 and AC15 amplifiers, The 6L6 and 6V6 powered class AB circuits which come from Fender amplifiers, and the EL34 powered class AB circuits which come from Marshall amplifiers. The sonic characteristics of these different amplifier configurations are extremely different and for a lot of guitar players it is important to have the tonal palette of all three. This is especially true for studio guitarists and is why a lot of high-end recording studios have multiple different types of guitar amplifiers in house. It is a common practice to use a 6L6 or 6V6 powered amplifier for a clear, clean tone in conjunction with an EL34 or EL84 powered amplifier for a more distorted tone. It is then a matter of blending the two amps' signals in order to achieve the desired amount of distortion. (en)
