Tube Amp Talk for the Guitarist and Tech is a follow-up to
Gerald Weber's popular A Desktop Reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps.
For years,
Gerald Weber has written both an amp column and an advice column ("Ask
Gerald") for Vintage Guitar Magazine. "Tube Amp Talk" is a compilation
of those essays, articles and Question & Answers from the years 1993-1996
The book is
arranged in seven sections : Servicing, Modifications, Multi-amp
setups, Q&A, Reviews, Lagniappe, and the Trainwreck pages. Learn
how to : perform a cap job, get rid of noise, fine tune the reverb,
recover the cabinet, add adjustable fixed bias, change the speed
parameters of your vibrato, convert to cathode bias, stop hum, voice an
amp for pedal steel, mods for Champs, headphone hookups, transformer
charts, and much, much more.
There is advice on purchasing an amp, troubleshooting, tuning up an
amp, testing capacitors, making tools for amp work, tube rectifiers,
correcting phase relationships, and too much to list here.
As a special bonus, Ken Fischer's
"Trainwreck Pages" from Vintage Guitar are also included. This
reference book assumes that the reader has at least a working knowledge
of tube guitar amplifiers, and it will be helpful and interesting
whether or not guitarists intend to perform their own servicing.
