of North America's tube tech masters. In this book is just a portion of the
wealth of tube amplification knowledge he possessed. With two hundred
pages of text plus explanatory diagrams there is something for everyone from
the beginner with a curiosity about the workings of tube amps to the advanced
hobbyist or technician looking to learn more. Many existing circuits from
various brands are examined along with Gar's own designs. There's also many
mods that can be applied in a variety of way's. Topics covered include power
supplies, biasing, output stages, effects loops, tone controls, distortion,
fuzz, trem as well as many others with a multitude of tips, tricks and ideas
from the master himself. Also included are original schematics for just about
every Garnet amp ever built. Models covered include the Rebel, Pro, Lil' Rock,
Swinger, Jammer, and many others as well as the famous BTO and Gar's signature
piece; the Herzog.
Gar Gillies was working with tubes since the dawn of the consumer radio
and was an expert long before anyone thought to amplify a guitar. As a musician
himself he was keenly aware that the guitar amplifier is a musical instrument
in its own right and he dedicated his life to helping individual players
achieve their own unique sound. Order your copy now and tap into the knowledge
