Members primeholy Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I guess I think of it as an extension of the guitar. If I didnt have an amp, I would only have the sounds of the strings on my guitar. Different amps respond differently than others. So I guess I at least consider it equally as important as a guitar. I can see how some people consider an amp an instrument. All you definate {censored}ers make me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members metalhobo Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 It's not an instrument by itself, but it is part of the electric guitar as an instrument, the same way the soundhole is part of the acoustic guitar instrument. Oh, and, I play map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 No it's not an instrument. It's an amplifier. You can't grab an amp and play one without a guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FBird Nation Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Not an instrument, but a good tube amp could be considered an analog sound processor (?) I mean, the amp is responsible (mostly), for your tone/sound, etc. The guitar wouldn't sound that way acoustically...same can't be said for accessories, like a slide, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Reauchambeau Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 I consider it an ampstrument. I was going to say instrumapit's obviously not an instrument but it's definitely part of the instrument (guitar), since an electric guitar is incomplete and useless without one.

Members White_Van Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 Is a tire a car? If you can fold yourself tight enough, you can use it for transport. Mostly works going down hills though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mcmurray Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 It is indeed a musical instrument, in the same way a Motif rack is an instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Say Ocean Posted March 18, 2010 Author Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 That doesn't make it an amp an instrument on its own though. The guitar is the instrument that you play, the source of the signal, the amplifer alters and amplifies the signal. So wouldn't it be part of the instrument in the same way a sound hole is part of an acoustic guitar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ShaneV2 Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 So wouldn't it be part of the instrument in the same way a sound hole is part of an acoustic guitar?But a soundhole in and of itself is not an instrument. Although I do suddenly feel the urge to tell people I play the sound hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ShaneV2 Posted March 18, 2010 Members Share Posted March 18, 2010 J I mean, the only thing that separates it is that you don't physically touch it I disagree. The only thing that separates it IMO is that it is incapable of producing sounds on its own. You don't touch a Theremin and no one argues that that isn't an instrument.
