thanks for this AG, reading this stuff would make less knowledgeable guys (like me) gain solid background of the basics of our common interest; resistance, capacitance, voltage, and all the resulting by-products of the combinations.

My dad gave me a copy of this when I was in high school - he found it somewhere in his collection of technical books - he had bought it when it was new in the 60's. I've learned alot of good stuff from it, and it's very well written.

Anyone have the schematics from the back of the Jack Darr book? The amplifier schematics section is missing.

Most (if not all) of those schematics are reprinted in Aspen Pittman's Tube Amp Book.TubeDude22 wrote:Anyone have the schematics from the back of the Jack Darr book? The amplifier schematics section is missing.

It's been re-printed by Old Colony Sound/Audio Amateur Press:

IMHO, worth purchasing to have the set of schematics. Not *all* the schematics in the book are reprinted in Pittman's book.

This is THE book that I learned the most from back in the early 70s
Some very good information and extensive schematics in the pre-internet days
I still have this book on my shelves - the first and probably still the best for explaining the way vacuum tube amplifiers (and some solid state ) work.
Well worth the download - especially for the newbie who wants a better understanding of guitar tube amplifier design practises

I think I might have the full PDF on one of my external hard drives somewhere, I'll have a good look and if I've got it, I'll organize getting it uploaded so it can be downloaded, stay tuned.....
Okay, I managed to find a copy of the PDF on one of my external hard drives, the PDF has all chapters except chapters 9,10, and 11, the folder contains 8.21Mb of data which happens to be small enough for me to be able to email it to anyone via my hotmail account which has an attachments size limit of 25Mb, so if you're after a copy of the PDF, just pm me....
