Kevin O'Connor of London for energy has created a series of books under the main title of "The Ultimate Tone." These books are truly unique and carefully designed for the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) amateur guitar boutique tube amp and amplifier manufacturer. Books have a homemade "feel" and ... All illustrations are hand-copy books are printed on 8.5? x11? paper and bound with clear plastic spines plastic sheeting. There are six books in the series now with the latest published in the spring of 2008. You may want to buy the entire series in one go and get a savings modest, but I think you should consider buying one at a time and digest the fly, creating projects along the road. A key point, though ... does not necessarily buy them in numerical order. I recommend the following sequence:

1. The ultimate tone volume 3 - Generations of Tone
2. Volume Ultimate Tone 5 - Capture tone
3. The ultimate tone volume 2 - Systems Approach to Stage Sound Nirvana
4. The Ultimate Tone Volume 4 - Techniques advanced modern design guitar amplifier
5. The Ultimate Tone - Modifying and Custom Building Tube Guitar Amplifiers
6. Volume tone last 6 - Tone timeless built for the future today

The last tone Volume 3 - Generations of Tone

This is the most important book of the series for the first tube amp builder.

The Chapters 2 through 4 lay the foundations for building good DIY tube amplifier Filling in good electrical ground connections of the art, clothing and other techniques lead wiring, including mechanical design assembly methods as terminal strips, turret and eyelet boards.

Subsequent chapters each selection amplifier iconic "particular, each amplifier iconic be a prototype example of the amplifiers in its class, and discussed in detail about the circuit topology, unique tonal characteristics and defects that are fatal that the product is known for. Kevin provides original schemes, and then shows how to apply the techniques detailed in previous chapters to improve performance and reliability of the icon without damaging the pitch. The scheme is redrawn, and solutions are provided mechanical designs are developed for each chapter a complete, stand-alone project to build DIY amplifier.

This process is repeated for several variations of the Champ in Chapter 5 (this chapter great influence on my own project single-ended amplifier), then in quick succession: the Bassman, Plexi, 800, Bull Dog, AC-30 amplifiers Portaflex, SVT, Bass Master, special custom guitar Mate, Herzog and Laney are treated.

If you can only buy one book for your hobby DIY guitar amp who had wholeheartedly recommend this.

The Ultimate Tone Volume 5 - Capture tone

Volume 5 collects in Volume 3 left off, with a project-oriented approach and some sophisticated solutions DIY tube amplifier for guitar and bass.

The book begins with a chapter structure to the operation of vacuum tube called a "tube sound," followed by a chapter on the electronics of the guitar and collecting features.

The next two chapters are small projects: Sigma for purposes of switching and Triple X to change the amplifier.

Chapters 5 and 6 are in transformers ... important components, but it made me yawn, sorry.

Beginning with Chapter 7, all stops are pulled out and is planned the sky ... Mayor (200W), Soma 84 (EL84 amplifier), Standard (London Power Standard Preamp 1995 with a 50W amplifier with four valves power), Doppelsonde (mixed feeding tube types), AX84 (discussion on the original goal of a low power amplifier), Kelly (4 6V6s 50W) and several other smaller scale projects.

One of the favorite projects I did was return to work based on Kevin's tube preamp pedal incomparable Hotbox Chapter 16. I built this pedal in a "true-to-peer style" really (ie, terminal strips) in a tube pedal box Doug Hoffman substituting a Baxandall tone stack and return to work the previous values to be more Dumble-esqe (type non-human resources management).

What would you do to an amplifier that matches the style of Yngwie Malmsteen? See Chapter 18, "the Swede."

The ultimate tone volume 2 - Approach Systems to Nirvana's sound stage

Volume 2 is not project oriented. The bulk of the book, chapters 2 to 5 source addresses tricks supply and an overview of power amplifiers, including tube, solid state and hybrid power amplifiers. Chapter 3, amplifiers tube, has very practical information on changes and corrections to Marshall and Fender circuit bias.

Like the first and last chapters of volume 2 the best. The first chapter is a brief discussion of the sound stages and how to configure a computer on stage for the best audience / band experience. The last chapter 6, is called "The Pillars of tone" and in this chapter the tone of the main contributors to the block level design tube amplifier system Guitar examined one by one and Kevin provided a very valuable tone shaping along the preamp or amplifier.

The Ultimate Tone Volume 4 - Advanced design for modern guitar amp

This is the book you want to buy if you feel the need to engage deeply with the power scaling technology that Kevin has developed. Increased power, coined and registered by Kevin, is how you can get distortion aspects power amplifier (as opposed to the preamp distortion) in tone in the bedroom volume levels. Volume 4 is not project-oriented DIY but explores the issues, including mitigation, expansion of power (both up and down), compression and power management, addressed by Modern designers guitar tube amp.

That said, the second to last chapter in Volume 4 might be important for a group larger builders enthusiasts ... design philosophy. In this chapter, Kevin provides a hierarchical design process could be used to make decisions fundamental how about your next project.

Ultimate Tone - Modifying and Custom Building Tube Guitar Amplifiers

No volume number in the title of this book was the first. Personally, I bought it for completeness. I specifically wanted information the 'perfect effects loop, but the loop itself is incorporated into a project in Volume 5. TUT also has excellent material and the signal reverberations a change of method is not explained in the other volumes. The first half introduces TUT / Overview of the tube amplifier systems, power supplies and memorandum focuses on changes preamplifier and power amplifiers to the commercial (eg, Marshall / Fender) ... if you are totally new to electronics tube you might want to buy this volume 1 in the same time as volume 3.

The tone volume last 6 - Tone timeless built for the future Today

In many ways, Volume 6 is a continuation and extension of the material in Volume 4, which introduces increased power. In Volume 6 of a new version of "direct control" of Powerscaling appears that was presented in Volume 4, but purged with integrated circuits and applies to "give" and maintain control and Vol 6. The new scale circuits have many advantages for a builder yourself as increased immunity to noise and less sensitivity to the layout, etc.

I applied the new DC level to a cloning project Trainwreck and was very impressed with the improvement of "playability" at lower volumes ... without changing the Trainwreck Express circuit is too strong for household use, they need to be cranked to get sweet tones is known for.

One of the chapters in Volume 6 covers Dumble amplifiers ... something I was hoping as many of my hobby projects focus on the circuits. I found this short chapter to be a good introduction to the general architecture of Dumble amplifiers, written from the point of view of the evolution of the first amplifiers Alexander Dumble modified standard started doing, but felt the chapter was short discussion of some of the most important nuances of the models more Dumble.

Volume 6 also has a lot of other materials in it, including a great tutorial on designing high power amplifiers for output and a great chapter on designs for high gain amplifier circuits real-world reference and detailed.

In summary ...

Kevin's books has a very empirical approach. He invites you to leave out the convention, in some cases and not be afraid to try combinations of pipes or tubes traction and in all cases clearly explains what is good and points out why they would not be right all the examples in the books are very practical and certainly has the DIYer in mind that you are writing.

Kevin body of work is truly encyclopedic in nature, and bearing in mind that a bright feature by the absence of his books is any kind of indexing ... This is compounded by the fact that Kevin constantly refers to earlier letters instead of repeating the same in a new volume, and it is very difficult to put your finger on the model, even with the other book in hand. Maybe search technology as Google's ability to find protected content could be put to good use in this case and offer a kind of 'auto-index' in the web of all books of Kevin without actually giving away the book yes. Or better yet, how about an electronic book format of the entire collection of books by Kevin TUT ... I think all readers of electronic books include search capabilities ... Kevin and hand-drawn diagrams probably appropriate scale and be easily read on electronic paper displays these devices offer.
