Looking for a PA speaker with a guitar input? A dedicated high-impedance (Hi-Z) jack takes a guitar or bass directly, so you can busk or play a small acoustic set without a separate DI box. Every pick below has one, and they’re ordered by how good they sound.

Hi-Z vs. a plain line input: a guitar plugged into a normal line input loses tone and output. Make sure the jack is labeled for instrument or Hi-Z use.
It’s one input, not a pedalboard rig: for a serious tone chain, run a preamp or pedal into the instrument input.
Watch the gain with hot pickups: active pickups can clip the built-in preamp, so start with the gain low.
