Beloved musicians ranging from George Harrison and Jimi Hendrix to Buddy Guy have relied on the Fender Stratocaster to make some of the most iconic electric guitar riffs ever. Unsurprisingly, one of the most dependable guitar makers also produces great amps. While many instruments can be heard loud and clear without any amplification, your electric guitar needs (and deserves) a great amplifier. After all, what good is a guitar riff if nobody can’t hear it?
If you need an amp for practicing at home or performing at small venues, these Fender amps pack a punch, but can still be easily loaded up into the tour bus. Fortunately, we collected a handful of awesome options. What’s more these product listings offer different sizes if need be. That way, you’ll be ready to rock the second the package lands on your doorstep.
So get the band together, grab an amp and get ready to crank it to 11 with some of our favorite guitar amps below.
1. Fender Champion 20-Watt Electric Guitar Amplifier
This amp features various effects that you can control from the o-board panel, which will allow you to cut down on the number of pedals you need to carry with you. You can also plug in headphones for quiet practicing.
Pros: Auxiliary port allows you to play a backing track to practice to. The panel features various effects, and the unit is lightweight for easy carrying. It also comes with a stellar 5-year warranty.

2. Fender Rumble 25 v3 Bass Combo Amplifier
Bassists rarely get the love they deserve, but the bass guitar is instrumental in completing the sound of a song. Just ask Paul McCartney. If you want to capture the deep sound of bass, you need a good amp. Fender is best known for guitars, but they make a mean bass amp too.

Cons: The smaller sizes are designed for practice, rather than gigs.
3. Fender Frontman 10G Electric Guitar Amplifier
