Episode 46: Interview with Dave Bryant from 6 Strings Down
This week I got to interview my good friend Dave Bryant from 6 Strings Down. We talk about vintage guitars and all sorts of stuff. You never can tell where the conversation will lead, but it’s always good! Thanks Dave!
Episode 43 – Class A vs. Class AB Circuitry
Reply
Alright folks. I’ve heard enough about class A and class AB and how class A is so much better than class AB. I’ve had plenty of conversations, people ask me about class A and so on that it’s high time I did an episode on class A circuitry.

Notes:
Great book on amps! The Guitar Amp Handbook – Dave Hunter
Intro music by Greg Frazee
