Which was why I was hesitant.īut it makes sense that improving tired old methods is the way to go.I'm glad I took the small jump. I didn't understand it fully at the time in terms of practicality but one thing I could see was it was yes unconventional. I have to say that was a big reason I was hesitant to try the methods he improved on. I'd say that amp is the best one I've built so far. I'd really recommend it and once you understand it it's definitely worth it. I have to say that afyer applying those things the amp turned out great! It made a huge difference actually in terms of the tone and feel of the amp and I am really happy with the results from the application of his book. And even went to splitting V1 and V2 as well as power end of the amp each having their own filter cap as dyscussed in the book. I ended up applying the galactic ground to my jcm800 amp which initially had some issues. He explained to me in detail so I can actually apply the concepts in the book.Īfter talking with him and looking back at the book I could understand more of what he was talking about. I ended up contacting Kevin directly for some layman's advice and he is I gotta say a real cool guy. You have to be familiar I feel with terminology and things like that. I really wanted to apply the galactic grounding popularized bt Kevin but it was difficult for me to understand. Initially I thought it was a bit of a hard read. One day, I plan to convert the whole thing to pdf, index it, and print it off so I can read it on the can! For me, the Tube Amp Library of Information is by far the most dogeared, worn out, over read book I "own". I haven't ran into a single situation where his advice or method has let me down - not one.

I've totally adopted his layout style and philosophy. In the end, when I gotta get it done and I need to know the best way right now - which might be 2am - I hunt the answer down in Doug Hoffman's notes.

How else can I test my own purely theoretical ideas? I have to make the most of the time I have while they'll still talk to me. I am a better circuit builder, trouble shooter, and general amp guy as a result of teaching by those men.and yeah, I'll argue with them. I highly respect all of those guys and I unashamedly hang on every word they say. I'm also favorably anticipating Merlin's book.
#The ultimate tone vol. 1. archive
If you think Reid and Luckey haven't written a book, you haven't seen the huge archive I have of their stuff. except for Doug Hoffman, Richard Kuehnel, Earles McCaul, Paul Reid, and Steve Luckey. The Very Opinionated variety includes nearly everything written since 1980 except for a very few. There's no better data anywhere - if I could just understand it.
#The ultimate tone vol. 1. manual
The Very Complicated variety includes RDH (yes, 3 is easier to digest than 4) and any other professional manual of the era. I'll say that the other Bibles generally fall into two broad categories: The Very Complicated and The Very Opinionated. I haven't read everybody's book yet, but I have read Doug's (no, not the dirt track book - the Tube Amp Library of Information) and I've read quite a few other 'Bibles'.
