Hi,
I am interested in pre solid state electronics and would like to learn to
design circuits and build my own guitar amplifiers. Every book I've seen so
far deals with all sorts of electronics that is too modern for my needs. Can
anyone suggest any book(s) to get me started?
Thanks,
Dan |

Guitar amplifiers are somewhat specialized, so I think your best bet
is to search for books on exactly that subject. There's also a lot on
the web regarding tube audio amplifiers in general - certainly useful
to get you up to speed on how tubes work in amplifiers, before moving
to the guitar-specific stuff.
I just built a small (2-tube) guitar amplifier for my son. I found
this site to be helpful: http://www.kbapps.com/audio/schematics/tubeamps/fender/

Have you looked at Rod Elliott site: http://sound.westhost.com/ ? It has more
than a 100 audio projects, and a wealth of information in the form of
articles. There are also guitar amp designs and information. Most it will be
solid state, but perhaps you will find something of interest. |

I suggest you go to a used book search engine, like:
http://www.bookfinder.com/
And search [tube amplifiers].
Lots of good and cheap books.

and lots of related stuff. http://www.tubesandmore.com.
