| Reviewer: J. Brown, |
| This book "The Ultimate Tone" is the first in a series of books explaining musical instrument vacuum tube amplifiers. At the time of this review, there are 6 books in the series, each focusing on different aspects of tube amplifiers. The books are very detailed and informative, with the aim of the reader already having a fundamental grasp of electricity and electronics, perhaps with some experience in tube amplifiers. Kevin O'Connor takes a fresh look at the rules for tube amplification and applies the modern advancements and safety measures to his designs. Throughout the series he examines the "iconic" circuits and points out what about the circuits give the tone that it is known for, and how that improvements can be made on the circuit, in regards to safety, reliability, noise reduction, and tone. This is a great book for someone who is looking to understand tube guitar amplifiers and who may want to build one for themselves or even start a business, this is all because Kevin always gives the answer to the question "Why?" |
