  A second aspect of the present invention is a guitar amplifier in which each of the lamps according to the first aspect is configured by an LED, and has a configuration capable of exhibiting the characteristic of the brightness of the lamp.

  Therefore, claim 2 can achieve the object of claim 1 and provide each lamp optimal to achieve this object, and can be used everywhere such as turning on or off a light such as a stage Has a feature that a lamp which can be surely viewed can be provided.

  An example of the present invention will be described.

  Reference numeral 1 denotes an amplifier main body having a handle 2 constituting a guitar amplifier A on an upper surface. The amplifier main body 1 incorporates a recording device B and an acoustic device C such as a speaker 3. The guitar amplifier A has a small size and a simple structure, which is useful for carrying, and has an advantage that it can be set in a corner of a stage, a room, or the like. The recording device B has a small and simple structure that can record for approximately 5 to 8 minutes as a computer including a ROM, a RAM, and the like (not shown). In the figure, 4 is a sound collecting microphone, 5 is a wiring, and 6 is a sound transmitting material.

  The features of the amplifier body 1 of the present invention are, in the inclined front part provided on the upper part of the front, a terminal 10 for inserting a plug of a musical instrument such as a guitar below, a knob 11 for adjusting the degree of distortion, and a function for adjusting the volume. A knob 12 for adjusting the high frequency range, a knob 14 for adjusting the middle frequency range, a knob 15 for adjusting the low frequency range, a terminal 16 for plugging in the headphone, and the reproduction of the recording of the recording device is displayed. A lamp 17, a lamp 18 which blinks when the recording device is in a recording standby (state), lights up at the start of recording, and turns off at the end of recording, and a lamp which indicates stop of recording and / or reproduction. 19, a button 20 for controlling the reproduction of the recording of the recording device, a button 21 for controlling the recording standby of the recording device, and also for starting the recording, and a button 22 for controlling the stop of the recording and / or the reproduction, Or guitar amplifier A And / or a main switch 23 for controlling the recording device C. By employing this structure, the function and effect of claim 1 described above can be exhibited. In addition, the buttons 20 to 22 may be provided in a structure other than the amplifier main body 1. For example, the buttons 20 to 22 may be provided in a device set on a guitar or on a guitar main body.

  Also, when the headphone plug is inserted into the headphone plug-in terminal 16, no sound is output from the speaker of the audio device C, so that the user can concentrate and listen to the sound. This feature can be used for avoiding the occurrence of music, co-starring a real performance with a recorded performance, and checking a real performance. Further, when the lamp 18 indicating recording standby or the like is blinking, the button 18 is pressed again to turn on the lamp 18 indicating recording standby or the like, thereby starting recording. When the recording is completed, the lamp 18 for displaying the recording standby or the like is turned off. Therefore, there is a feature that the status of standby, recording, and the like can be closely confirmed by checking the blinking, lighting, and the like of the lamp 18 indicating the recording standby.
