## Description

The Tube Amp Book [Pittman, Aspen] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Tube Amp Book

Review: The best Guitar Amplifier book there is. Also has wiring schematics! - I did not realize how great this book was when I orderer it. Clear and concise history with interesting facts and great pictures. The author explains why people like each model or manufacturer and why they became famous. The author was a legend in Amplifiers. Founded Groove and sold to Fender. He worked in the original Guitar Center. I love the pictures and the history. You can take this book and use it to work on an old amp or (like me) use it to pick out an old amp to build yourself. Such a cool book. 1st half pics and history. 2nd half wiring schematics.
Review: The main resource I use for tube amp history and schematics - Apen Pitman knows his tube amps. Period. I lost my first copy, and had to find another to replace it. Well worth my hard earned money. I love the large spiral bound format in this recent release, so the pages lay flat when opened. Tons of newer and vintage schematics of popular amps, both inside, and online for download. I cant live without this well written book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The main resource I use for tube amp history and schematics
*by A***K on June 17, 2019*

Apen Pitman knows his tube amps. Period. I lost my first copy, and had to find another to replace it. Well worth my hard earned money. I love the large spiral bound format in this recent release, so the pages lay flat when opened. Tons of newer and vintage schematics of popular amps, both inside, and online for download.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One for the personal library. I have all the editions by now, so why stop?
*by S***N on August 7, 2015*

Amazingly, I have bought stuff from Aspen Pittman now, and used it in my own amps. The best part of this book is the CD ROM of schematics. Okay they are on the web now, but, sometimes the internet goes down, and its a decent assortment. He touches on a lot of amp makers, and glosses over their history, and their better amps.
