In engineering school I learned about transistors and integrated circuits. Tubes (thermionic valves) were considered quaint, unreliable, and obsolete. But one thing nobody banked on was tubes being the ideal solution for making a guitar amplifier. So here I am late in life trying to learn all I can about them. Cuz I needed a new hobby.

Danger Will Robinson! Tube amps will kill you
Just the standard warning about high voltages. Tube amps have got really high voltages in them. Don't touch your computer screen while viewing this blog either. That could really zap you. But in all seriousness, tube amps can mess you up bad, including killing you, did I mention this? So please do not ever play with one or stick your finger in one, wondering whether I was kidding or not. Because I'm not.
