There are two main types of amplifiers, valve and transistor/ IC .They both have their advantages and disadvantages .Valve amps such as Marshall, Roost and Vox are often favoured by some guitarists for their warmer sound. They do need regular servicing or check ups, and the valves may need changing from time to time. When changing the output valves it is important to check that the bias is set up correctly for the new valves. For a good book on valve amps (that's "tube" amps to Americans!) I suggest you try:

Transistor amplifiers have longer life, are more robust if looked after but don't quite have the same sound. Enough said!
