Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd stop my lurking for a bit to introduce myself. I'm in my fifties and have recently (five years ago) returned to music and to guitar and am having the time of my life. Recently I acquired a POD HD500 and have a really nice tube amp that sounds great with my guitar in, but which sounds kind of awful with the POD so I've been looking at alternative forms of amplification. I love DIY projects (I built a sailboat last time I got the bug) so I ultimately wound up here.
I had some electronics training in the 80's when I was in the Navy, but I never actually used that training to any great extent since I was mostly involved with digital systems. Analog circuits are pretty new to me. I've been re-educating myself on the basics but it's going to be a long haul. I don't have a problem with that and I hope to be a long-time and ultimately contributing member of this excellent forum.
I've downloaded Teemuk's book and I've also got a digital copy of Jack Darr's "Electric Guitar Amplifier Handbook". I'd appreciate any other pointers for resources, especially ones that make the math comprehensible. It's been thirty years.
Anyway, hello everyone!
Kevin
