[sdiy] (OT) Differences between SS AB Guitar Amps & SS AB Hi-Fi Amps?

[Justin Owen]

Hope nobody minds me asking this here - I don't frequent any guitar/hi-fi forums and my searches so far have turned up a lot of answers that I know aren't necessarily correct.

So - apart from the fact that one is stereo - what are some of the main differences between a solid-state (all tranny) guitar amp - let's say 50W and a solid-state 50W hi-fi amp?

I'm mainly referring to the structure of the AB amp itself - as opposed to pre-amps, tone controls, I/O impedance etc. - although if those *are* the main differences - please say so.

General question - answers as general as you like.

Thanks,

Justin
