Would anyone recommend a book on Fender amplifiers? The history, and so on.

I've noticed there's a few out there.

Thanks!

Tom Wheeler's. (Without getting up and going into the Scary Guitar Room, I think its title is "The Soul Of Tone.")

"Fender Amps - the First Fifty Years"

or

If you are interested in theory along with most Fender schematics - "Dave Funk's Tube Amp Workbook"

That is a fun book! Careful, though. I didn't think about it too much at the time, but within a year of purchasing that book, I also purchased a Princeton RI , a '73 Twin Reverb, and a Fender PA 100.

Interesting phenomenon. In a relatively short period of time following the purchase of Teagle & Sprung's Fender Amps: The First Fifty Years, a couple Blackface piggybacks and three Silverface combos found their way into the basement.
