An in-depth understanding of preamp circuits is essential to creating a guitar amplifier design that stands out from the crowd. It is here that the designer gets a first crack at setting the amp's gain, frequency response, and distortion limits...

These great little powered pre-amp units include all of the parts you need to add a pickup to your acoustic or cigar box guitar. The rod piezo offers great tone and pickup range, and is made to be mounted beneath the saddle of a standard acoustic guitar, but it can be easily built into a cigar box guitar bridge as well, or mounted inside the instrument...

Designing Tube Preamps for Guitar and Bass is the world's first comprehensive guide to the design of tube-based preamplifiers, specifically for musical instrument use, in a single volume. From the input to the phase inverter, this book discusses the inner workings of every part of a conventional guitar preamp, including the use of triodes, pentodes, tone controls, effects loops and much more...

From this book, you can learn more than you could ever have hoped to know about the design concepts and the practical details of the hardware used/made by guitar manufacturers all over the world.

Hohner welcomes you to the world of playing guitar. The Hohner HC09TE-BK is a handcrafted classical guitar with a Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides. This wood match-up creates a crisp texture to the overall sound of the instrument...

The Tube Ultragain MIC100 is a vacuum tube mic/line preamplifier with integrated limiter for studio, live and hard disk recording applications. It features a carefully selected 12AX7 vacuum tube with UTC technology for exceptional warmth and lowest noise...

There's a huge amount of hype and mythology surrounding tube amplifiers in the guitar world. For years, experts have argued over the tiny details of exactly how they do what they do, and how their various components interact...

THE VOLUME BOX This is a VERY cool item, everyone knows that all tube amps sound AMAZING when cranked WAY up so that the tubes are really being pushed, but thats much too loud right? This simple little black box solves that problem without performing ANY modifications to the amp at all!!! Simply plug it into the effect loop on your amp (thats the preamp out and power amp in jacks) and turn the amp volume up as high as you want, then adjust the overall volume with the volume box...

The power amp transforms the carefully crafted signal voltages served up by the preamp stages into the punch and sizzle that defines a guitar amplifier's character. It is in the power stage that the designer orchestrates the nuances of touch and tone in an environment of vacuum tubes and circuit components being pushed to their limits...
