Book Description/Synopsis:
Guitarists love amps - really
love them. Amplifiers may look dull to the rest of the world, but to guitarists
they are full of mystique, romance and rockin' sound. And while there are many
strong-selling electric guitar histories available, this is the first
illustrated history of the electric guitar's best friend, the amp. World-famous
guitar and amp historian Dave Hunter tells the story of 60 of the greatest amps
ever built including classics from Fender, Marshall, Vox, the bizarre EchoSonic
that created Elvis' sound and the ultim ate
esoteric $75,000+ Dumble amps. Illustrated with hundreds of technical photos,
rare machines, catalogues, memorabilia and the amps of the stars from Jimi
Hendrix to Stevie Ray Vaughan to Eric Clapton, this is a book guitarists will
drool over.
