Course Overview
An amplifier is the voice-box of the electric guitar and bass and plays a key role in helping to create a player’s signature tone or sound. Understanding the inner workings of an amplifier allows the player to take a more active role in the development of their sound and be able to troubleshoot technical issues when they arise on stage or off.
In this course, the students will get to build their very own custom 5-Watt Tube Amp, designed exclusively for El Camino School by ValveTrain Amplification.
