This is the book that jump-started the boutique tube guitar amp business. Learn the truth about tube preamp design and modification; see how tube power amps work and can be made more reliable; see how reverbs and effects loops work and better ways to configure them; learn why some amp brands are easier to service and to mod than others; see how simple switching circuits are but how capable they can be. Tube data for the common types used in guitar and bass amps is provided, along with a discussion of stage set-up and player ergonomics. Spiral bound, 395 figures. 368 pages, 2.5 lbs, 8.5" x 11"

Tonnes of Tone

"All the world's a stage", so why not have great sound every time you play. TUT2 reveals how to design tube, solid-state and hybrid power amplifiers for guitar and bass. Everything you need to know about bias methods, myths and circuits is here. "Toneful" power supply mods, high-gain preamps, EQs, electronic cross-overs, speaker simulation, compressors and useful switching circuits are all investigated. Spiral bound. 200 figures. 250 pages, 1.9 lbs.

Ultimate Tone, Volume II (Systems Approach To Stage Sound Nirvana, Volume II)

Speaker cabinet design is mysterious to most people, but it doesn't have to be - especially when it comes to speakers for musical instruments. Cabinet evolution is described culminating in Kevin's own designs built by London Power, based on 20+ years of experience and input from expert speaker designers. Resonant and non-resonant cabinets are explored, along with the choice for building materials, finishes, woodworking techniques, installing grill cloth, and the use of wheels and handles. Driver selection and mixing is detailed, covering driver impedance, power ratings and wiring. Dare to design bad tone right out of your life.
Spiral bound, 77 pages, 1 lb, 5.5" x 8.5".

London Power DIY Speaker Cabinets for Musical Instrument Applications

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn't change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the "iconic" amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self. Spiral Bound. 360 pages, 2.2 lbs, 8.5" x 11"

Ultimate Tone, Volume III (Generations of Tone, Volume III)

Every part of your system contributes to your Ultimate Tone, so every part is important. TUT5 delineates, in clear language, the function of each electronic component in a circuit, and how alterations to the value of each part affect the final sound. Gain stage voicing, interstage attenuator optimization, sustain restoration for clean and distorted tones, power amp and preamp "tone generators", simple boost pedals, amp selectors and power conditioners are all covered, with designs using off-the-shelf parts. Like TUT3, this is a "project book" presenting design challenges and solutions, with a diversity of tube and solid-state circuits for bass, guitar and keyboards. Spiral bound, 2.0 lbs 8.5" x 11"
