Most inexpensive and mid-priced guitar amplifiers are based on transistor or [[semiconductor]] (solid-state) circuits, which are cheaper to produce and more reliable, and usually much lighter than tube amplifiers.<ref name="Gallagher" /> Solid-state amps are less fragile than tube amps.

High-end solid-state amplifiers are less common, since many professional guitarists favor vacuum tubes.{{citation needed|date=October 2018}} Some{{who|date=October 2018}} jazz guitarists favor the ''cleaner'' sound of solid-state amplifiers. Only a few solid-state amps have enduring attraction, such as the [[Roland Jazz Chorus]].<ref name="Gallagher" /><ref>{{cite book|last=Pinksterboer|first=Hugo|title=Tipbook Amplifiers and Effects: The Complete Guide|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gO4zYuv3hzcC&pg=PT270|year=2009|publisher=Hal Leonard|isbn=978-1-4234-6277-4|page=270}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Madsen|first=Pete|title=Funk Guitar and Bass: Know the Players, Play the Music|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P7mVQezU-7cC&pg=PA81|year=2006|publisher=Hal Leonard|isbn=978-0-87930-894-0|page=81}}</ref> Solid-state amplifiers vary in output power, functionality, size, price, and sound quality in a wide range, from practice amplifiers to combos suitable for gigging to professional models intended for [[session musician]]s who do [[sound recording|studio recording work]].
