Essentially for guitar amps. 11.4 meg PDF. Found this on another forum and got permission to post it here. Don't knock it, it's free.

The other forum is more oriented to Hi-Fi audio, but have a section for guitar amps too.

Thank you so much for posting the link, been after this book for quite a long time...cheers.... :thumbsup


I would also like to add that I think this is a good tome to download and read if you're after some Tube/Valve theory, especially if you're interested in building/modding Tube/Valve amps, or Tube/Valve based stompboxes.... :thumbsup
