I think I need a book. All this amp tech talk is flying straight over me and making my eyeballs hurt!
Is there a 'making a tube amp for dummies' book?
Wana's_makin'_a_guitar said:Mayfly- What The Hell? those books are expensive! I hope I only need one or two of those books!
I won't know how serious I am about building an amp kit until I sell my MG and have some of that rare substance called money, and I probably won't sell my MG until I get a massive amount of G.A.S.mayfly said:Hey Wanna - how serious are you about learning about this stuff?
I've got some books you might be interested in: The Torries book (light on the engineering, but easy to understand) and a couple of the Weber books ("A Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps" and "Tube Amp Talk for the Guitarist and Tech").
Yours for the price of shipping - but ONLY if you're gonna build something.
