Volume 1 of the most complete and practical modern reference on tube guitar amplifiers
The first three chapters of this unique book cover introductory topics such as basic electronic circuits and passive components (resistors, capacitors, inductors), the building blocks of tube amplifiers. Audio amplifiers are also investigated as "black boxes", from the outside perspective, and important concepts such as spectra, gain, bandwidth and distortion are introduced.
Chapters four to six explain operational principles behind vacuum tubes (diodes, triodes, tetrodes and pentodes), and their use as rectifiers and active amplification components in guitar amps.
The rest of the book progresses through various stages of guitar amps, from input circuits and preamplifier stages, through tone control circuits and analog effects, to output or power stages.
After the in-depth coverage of tube power supplies, single-ended output stages (triode, pentode and "ultralinear") are covered first, followed by phase inverters and push-pull circuits.
Various types of negative feedback are explained, together with their benefits and drawbacks. The associated controls such as "Presence", "Resonance" and "Texture(TM)" are also discussed, using Peavey ValveKing 212 amp as a case study.
Despite claims by their manufacturers, many modern guitar amps aren't "all tube" at all, but hybrid designs. Most have a single tube in preamp stages to "color" the sound, and a cheap solid state output stage (usually using integrated circuits). Others take the opposite approach, choosing semiconductor preamp stages and a tubed power stage. For that reason solid state (semiconductor) components and amplifiers are covered here briefly, together with two examples of hybrid amps.
This practical DIY manual is richly and professionally illustrated with photographs of tubes, components and amplifiers, circuit diagrams, tube pinouts, curves and loadlines, graphs and charts. These valuable illustrations make it faster and easier to comprehend issues, a picture is truly worth a thousand words! All the information required to design and build tube guitar amplifiers is compiled in one place.

The only practical audio transformer design & construction manual in English language
The design of chokes, small power transformers (those used in tube amplifiers and preamplifiers) and audio (output and interstage) transformers is such a specialist topic that even most electronics engineers would not even know how and where to start, let alone produce a finished, working transformer.
Commercial transformers and chokes are available, but most are very expensive, and those that are reasonably priced usually aren't of best quality. Plus, since they are such heavy and bulky components, international postage or courier costs are significant.
The physical principles behind transformer operation are quite complex and mathematical modeling of transformers require strong mathematical skills, deterring amateurs and DIY enthusiasts from studying the subject. While some basic understanding of operational principles is necessary, luckily, transformer design can be greatly simplified by using a few basic rules-of-thumb formulas.
Likewise, once you have a finished design (a detailed winding diagram), transformer winding & assembly is surprisingly easy. Apart from the materials (such as bobbins, laminations, insulation and magnet wire), all you need is a simple winding machine (can be of DIY variety), good hand-eye coordination and patience.
Your DIY transformers will almost always be significantly cheaper than commercial alternatives and often of better quality and better sounding than famous names transformers costing many hundreds and even thousands of dollars each.
There are more than 40 ( ) detailed designs of various power, output & interstage transformers and filtering, grid & anode chokes in this unique manual. Even if you don't feel like investing time and effort into mastering the art of transformer making, simply take those winding diagrams to any transformer making shop and have your transformers professionally made for a fraction of the price of commercial alternatives.
This practical design & construction manual is richly and professionally illustrated with photographs of transformers, circuit diagrams, winding diagrams, reference tables, graphs and charts. These valuable illustrations make it faster and easier to comprehend issues and concepts. A picture is truly worth a thousand words. Indeed, all the information required to design, wind and test chokes, power and audio transformers is within these covers.

Описание: When Kelly Newton decided at the last minute to join her friends for a two-week getaway, all she expected was time away from the stress of her job, a hot tub, and hiking trails by the water. She didn't count on her powerful attraction to Josie Harlow, the charismatic and totally unavailable owner of the lesbian resort in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Josie Harlow knows from past experience that happily ever after is a fairy tale. When she meets Kelly, her desire is instantaneous, but a beautiful distraction is the last thing she needs as she works to make the resort a success, withstand the pressure to sell her land, and hunt down the hooligans damaging her property. When her grandmother is no longer able to care for herself, Josie has to figure out how to support her elder and deal with her growing feelings for Kelly too. Can a romantic looking for a long-term, committed relationship and a jaded cynic too busy for love conquer life's struggles and find their way to what matters most?
