There are a large variety of amps on the market. The original 'rock n roll' style amps were made by Fender, but the more versatile amps of the present day tend to be dominated by the British manufacturers Marshall and Vox. These two brands are generally more reliable and suited to what the average guitarist wants to play.

For beginners with a reasonable budget, (lets say about £160) Marshall and Vox offer some excellent value amps, as opposed to other popular low to mid range amps made by companies such as Starmaker, Behringer and Yamaha. Examples would be the 45 watt Marshall mg15cdr, or the Vox AD30VT, part of Vox's Valvetronix range, which include both inbuilt effects and preset digital amp voices designed to incorporate many popular amp styles. (These include amps made by Marshall, Dumble, Fender, Soldano and Vox themselves) Either amp would be a great choice for a beginner as they are known to be reliable and versatile as well as contemporary. Anoter amp company which produces similar quality amps at such a budget is Peavey.

For a more experienced buyer, the same two companies are known to be at the forefront with their JCM and AC ranges. They are joined by companies such as Fender and Orange, who also produce high quality high budget amps, among others.

And for those with very full pockets, there are the companies at the forefront of distortion rock amps, Mesa Boogie and Soldano. These two brands will set you back a fair amount, but are of sturdy construction and have an amazing sound. A lifetime investment.

How do you insert a guitar amp to a guitar with no plug itn the guitar?

If you are referring to "wireless", than you must first buy a wireless receiver that hooks into your amplifier, and your guitar, and transmits a signal from the guitar to the amp... SongScouting: or just buy a pickup microphone. Dean Markley makes one that is a wooden bar that goes across your soundhole, or there is a "button" type that sticks (with putty) to your bridge.
