Band help?? Do I need an amp and speakers for a mic?

Question

Well me and my friends are starting a band and I am singer. I know I will need a microphone, but do I need to buy an amplifier to plug it into? Or can I use the guitar amps?? I don't know where to start!

Answer 1

Do not ever plug a microphone into a guitar amp.

Terrible sound, can't handle the frequencies, will probably blow up.

I suggest a small affordable PA system (controls bass guitar and vocals), best for sound and tone.

If a PA is too expensive then you could invest in a small vocal or keyboard amp, which should do the trick.

Good luck with your band!
