The Soul of Tone: Celebrating 60 Years of Fender Amps (Book & CD) (Hardcover)
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, (more…)

SWEET BOOK – BUT ALL EDGES DAMAGED!
This is a great book with pics of every Fender amp you can imagine.
So much the worse that I recieved it with all edges damaged.
Too bad!

The “Sole of Tone” books both arrived damaged having slid around in the box. They were returned and replaced.

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.

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.

This is ‘The Bible’ for fans of Fender amplifiers – the best there is.
Buy this book – treasure it – read it thoroughly over and over again – you will learn so much.
Listen to the CD by Greg Koch – amazing!

The Soul of Tone
I think that Amazon needs to stop bothering me to write these reviews. Even though they know that my knowledge in this field is considered by many to be the final word in all…
