You’ll need at least 30 watts for playing live with a rock band, but smaller amps often provide surprisingly huge sounds in the studio—just ask Jimmy Page. Also, as a rule of thumb, if you’re playing out often, you might want to shoot for at least 15 watts of tube tone.

Do higher watt amps sound better?
