Guitar Amplifier Stacks

Excessive volume was always an important aspect of rock'n'roll, even in the very beginning. But as the years passed and more rock musicians were starting to play bigger venues, the demand for louder amps continued to grow. By the early 1960s, this led to the idea of splitting an amp into two separate pieces of equipment, which allowed manufacturers to make bigger speakers and put more power into their amps. The speakers became known as the stack, the amp became known as the head, and the guitar amp stack was born.

If you like it loud, then you've definitely come to the right place. Whether you're getting ready to hit the biggest stage of your career, or an amateur enthusiast who just likes to make ears ring, you'll find an extensive range of guitar amp stacks in this section. In fact, all of the most well-known guitar amp brands are here, including Hughes & Kettner, Peavey, Crate, EVH and countless others.
