Amped: The
Illustrated History of the World’s Greatest Amplifiers
Q. 787.87 H916a
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, here's 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 ultimate esoteric $75,000+ Dumble amps. The story is illustrated
with hundreds of technical photos, rare machines, catalogs, 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.
