Hello everyone,
I've been a nerd as long as I can remember, prone to tinkering and taking things apart to try to understand how they work and determine if they could tweaked to better suit my tastes. As this inclination has driven various project ideas over the years, this forum has come up more than once in search results when doing research for the various music electronics projects that have interested me. The information and discussion here has often been informative.
More recently, I have been lurking for a bit, reading a few threads as part of my research for a solid-state guitar amplifier idea, and figured I would eventually have questions for the various members with more knowledge and experience than myself.
I am still looking through the forum hierarchy to familiarize myself with it. Would my various questions, and discussion about my project and design ideas be better suited to Live Sound > Instruments and Amps, or Amplifiers > Solid State ? Or would perhaps a master project thread be better suited to one forum (Instruments and Amps?), and various sub-discussions about sub-sections of the project (power supply, preamp, output section) belong in threads in the various other sections of the forums?

Welcome to diyAudio :^)
You will get more general info from amplifiers, MI specific answers likely found in the Live Sound section.

Welcome @Koreth !
I am not an expert, but based on my experience, there is an abundance of general theory and practical implementation to learn all over the site. There seems to be multiple lifetimes of experience behind any topic discussed.
When it comes to designing or modifying a guitar amp, I think what is considered "good sound" to a guitarist can be very different from what makes a good audio amplifier. For that reason it seems essential to get input from people who understand that difference. You may find that more in the instruments and amps area.
Regardless of which part of the forum you're in, I think the most important thing is to jump in and ask a question like you did here. (Something I'm trying to learn to do!)
