I’ve recently purchased a copy of Merlin Blencowe’s book Designing Tube Preamps for Guitar and Bass”.

This is the best books I’ve read on guitar amp pre-amps, which will come as no surprise to anyone who has visited Merlin’s excellent website. Although the approach is quite academic, even if you aren’t into the maths (sad to say I am), there are a ton of useful ideas and practical tips.

Thoroughly recommended.

The only disappointing feature of the book is that the author chose to you “tube” in the title rather than “valve”!

OK, with our new blog facility (!?) we aim to keep the cyberworld up to date with JPF Amplification activities.

Once we’ve worked out how to add picture to this we will also bring you details of any interesting amps we have through the shop.

Keep it country!
