Dave Funk's Tube Amp Workbook: Complete Guide to Vintage Tube Amplifiers Volume 1 - Fender

If you're just beginning with tube amps, this is a good book to start with. It's a fast read, won't challenge your Algebra skills, and should give you enough info to feel comfortable ravaging that Silverface Bassman sitting in your basement. It's certainly a preferable to the Aspen Pittman books I started with. It's worth repeating what someone else mentioned: If you have access to the schematics, save yourself some cash and buy the cheaper version of the book.

This was to replace thew original one that my friend Howie Esptein(Tom Petty's bassist) gave to me in 1998.. It's been used in my shop for the last 20+ years..

Pretty intense discussions here, not everything that I thought it might be but still a good investment in understanding FENDER and other amps.Not for a beginner to figure out what he is doing with his blackface or silverface

Love the Book its what I expected and is full of the information I was after, its a bit light as far as theory goes but as it was written in general terms for VG magazine readers and is of no consequence. However the Fender info is all in one place which is what I wanted.

This book finds that rare place between chalkboard and the real world. Mr. Funk breaks the tube amp into appropriate components and explains them in real world terms with just enough formula to allow you to understand and alter your own amps if you wish.

Great book, world of info on all fender amps made, has all the schematics on all the amp, got news of this book on one of the forums, well worth the money for any one wanting to get in to amp building

Nice book , I would say it has 98% of all fender amps made with tubes, it all so goes over the compotes in the amps to under stand what do.

Lots of info

Kind of boring. There's a few tricks here and there to sweeten up a fender but that's it. I only give it 3 stars because I was told that this book would pretty much teach me how to build a guitar amp. Well it didn't, it's not its purpose.

Brilliant book. Full of information on tube amps, also very easy to read and easy to understand, not to much complicated math.Plus not to expensive.
