Chapter 1: Electronics Fundamentals "If the plates are too close to withstand the voltage across them, an electrical breakdown can occur, resulting in catastrophic failure. Capacitors rated for high voltages, like most of the capacitors in a guitar amp, are physically larger to support a wider gap between the plates." Chapter 3: Preamps "As you will see, every amplification stage and coupling circuit presents multiple opportunities to boost or cut a desired range of frequencies and craft a desired response." Chapter 6: Power Amps "It is in the power stage that the designer orchestrates the nuances of touch and tone in an environment of vacuum tubes and circuit components being pushed to their limits." Chapter 10: Overdrive and Harmonic Distortion "For signal amplitudes of 1V or less, the tube is in complete cutoff! Plenty of signal in, zero signal out. This is known as blocking distortion, which is highly undesirable in a guitar amp. Guitar players use a somewhat indelicate phrase to describe this condition, which I won't repeat here."
