Re: OT: The Search for the Perfect Home Recording Amplifier Saga



Howdy,

 If you really like the sound of the black face amps,
you can buy  asiver face amp and with some capacitor
and resisyor rewirig, recreate the black face sound.
it's all laid out in "The tube amp book' By Aspen
Pitman. It also has schematids for LOTS of amps, and a
comparison guide of most of the amps out There. You
could possibly buy a low cost amp and with tis book,
modify it to suit your taste.
