Average Customer Ratings:
From the same "dream team" that created The Fender Stratocaster Chronicles (Vintage Guitar magazine's 2004 Book of the Year) comes this new publication covering the other side of Fender's legacy, the instrument amplifier. Revered as much as one's guitar, the Fender amplifier gets its due in this full-color, richly illustrated book. Features over 400 images, including legendary guitarists such as Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Neil Young, Pete Townshend, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters, Robbie Robertson and Dick Dale, and two CDs featuring over 100 tracks that make terms and topics come alive.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
A definite must for Guitar Lovers -
I purchased this as an addition to the Strat Chronicles. I have already several books on Guitar Amps and tube amps in particular, as well as several books focusing on Fender. This is such a great book historically, it offers such a breadth of information and can offer long-long hours or reading and viewing enjoyment. Not to forget the excellent CDs with great music from all the beloved tube beasts. If you have the Strat Chronicles complete the set. If you dont, buy them both!

very well documented -
Great history - great photos- and now we know why Fender Amps sound the way they do - truely the standard by which all others are judged.
I had a lot of these and knew how they sounded from my Blonde Tremolux- 2 -10's to my Blackface Bandmaster- bought at the famous "Manny's Music" NYC.( used on the road for 15 years- NEVER failed! :) to the Black Face super in the studio.
BTW- The CD's Ahhhhhhhhhh that Fender Crack and SMOOTH compression!
Thank God for Leo Fender:)
Jack,
ps- I have the mate to this book by the same author " 50th anniversary of the Strat 2004"- and own a new 2004 anniversary strat :) Given to me on Christmas day by "The Guitar Goddess"
a must.. -
..for tone enthusiasts. Great photos, great amps & great stories. Don't miss it, it'a a real very very sounding book!
If You Love Amps, You need this book. -
I've been playing for 37 years. Great tone has always been a never ending quest. Some gear sounds thin, some tinny, or boomy, too fuzzy, or brittle, even dull. But some appliances produce sounds that are awesome. This book is about several of those savage appliances--vintage Fender amps. This book and its 2 accompanying CDs are wonderful; I've learned so much and I've been very entertained.
Great read.

More Than Most Want To Know -
If you are a fan of the Fender sound, and curious about the origins of Leo Fender, the Fender company and the legendary Fender guitar amplifiers then this book is for you. Its the first coffee table sized book I've ever had that is more than wonderful photos. Its a book I enjoy reading a great deal. There is a lot of detail, enough to keep a amplifier technician, or someone who doesn't care about the details of how they get the sound happy. There are lots of delicious quotes and images about those that prefer to use the Fender amp in their performances. Examples are Dick Dale, Buddy Guy, B. B. King, to Keith Richards. If those names aren't familiar to you, well it might not be a book for you. This is a book about influences and origins. Its not afraid to expose the mystery behind the curtain, but also to expose the inconsistencies of the Fender company.
Then there is the disc that provide you with the ability to hear and compare the sound of a wide variety of amplifiers under very similar conditions. This provides those seeking to develop a tone all their own through a Fender guitar amplifier. It doesn't denigrate other vendors, and has comments and interviews by many of the other legends and current boutique makers in the guitar amplification arena.
If you want to know about Fender amplification, this might be the only book you ever need.
