Re: Suggestion for Books on Amp Building
As far as the science behind amps, there are a bunch. Dave Hunter's is a good starting point.
As far as "how to build", I think web forums are a better bet. Doug Hoffman's site, AX84, 18Watt.com, etc...

+1 the Dave Hunter Guitar Amp Handbook.
I even built the Princeton clone in the last chapter.

Re: Suggestion for Books on Amp Building
how is that two stroke? i started collecting parts for it but havent done much besides get the transformers and caps/resistors. i got some huge mercury iron for it
the dave hunter book is good and gerald weber has three good books out about tube amps, i dont agree with everything he says when it comes to tone but there is lots of knowledge to be found.

Re: Suggestion for Books on Amp Building
It's a simple circuit and an easy build.
I built it as a head running into a 212 with Celestions, Classic and V-30, not the combo and I put in two power tube sockets.
Next on the list is an 18 watter.
You disagreed with Weber or Hunter?
I thought that for what he was aiming for, he hit it right on the nose.
I'd love to hear this amp with a TMB stack just to see if the tone suffers like he thinks it would.
