Fender Amp Field Guide back up and running

PhatTele Joined: Jun 05, 2006 Posts: 445	Posted on Dec 11 2008 11:21 AM I'm not sure who here used to visit the old Ampwares' Fender Amp Field Guide, but it went down earlier in the year. It looks like MojoTone bought the rights to the name and has updated the site. This has always been a great resource for me as I've learned how to work on amps. A lot of stuff that's discussed here relative to Fender amps, circuit specs, and common nomenclature (sorry...no brown face amps ) are covered by the field guide. So, if you're not familiar with it, scope it out. http://www.ampwares.com/ Top

I still rely heavily on Gerald Weber's and Apen Pittman's books, Uncle Spots info on Fender Transformers and of course the RCA tube manual. ed — Traditional........speak softly and play through a big blonde amp. Did I mention that I still like big blonde amps? Top

It would have been a fun project to do that. — Site dude - S3 Agent #202 Need help with the site? SG101 FAQ - Send me a private message - Email me "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea Top

After all, its the music it was meant to play. Top
