Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

If you have questions about guitar amplifiers-how to fix them, how to restore them, or how to hot-rod them-this book has the answer. This book is written for the guitarist or collector who desires a common sense approach to understanding the essence of vintage tube amps and vintage tube tone. Not written for engineers, it does not contain engineering formulas, polar mathematic equations, or abbreviations that are assumed you should know. Gerald Weber, a regular columnist for Vintage Guitar magazine, shares the knowledge he has accumulated over the years of repairing and building his line of Kendrick amps.

Synopsis:

Gerald Weber has written many articles on tube guitar amplifiers for Vintage Guitar magazine, and this book is a compilation of those articles, plus excerpts from his "Ask Gerald" question and answer column. Written for the guitarist or collector who wants a common sense approach to understanding the essence of vintage tube amps and vintage tube tone, this essential guide will answer questions on how to fix, restore, or hot-rod vintage amps. Includes easy-to-follow text, a complete glossary of terms, many photos and detailed schematics, and a listing of dealers and sources.
