Download or read book Amps! written by Ritchie Fliegler and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 1993 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). Electric guitar players can choose from a library full of guitar books, but comparatively little has been written about the other 50% of the electric guitar: the amplifier. This book takes a giant step toward redressing the balance, providing the first overall view of amp-dom, including: how amps work, profiles of the major manufacturers, 'transistor dinosaurs' and their place in amp history, reissues vs. vintage amps, and troubleshooting. Terms are defined in the margin as they are introduced, and plenty of photos and diagrams illuminate the text.
