An amplifier is a natural or artificial device that is used to make an audio or any type of signal stronger as it passes through the device. There are many different types of amplifiers. Some, like acoustic guitars and cellos are acoustic or natural amplifiers and others that use electricity such as electric guitars and PA systems are electric or artificial amplifiers. Of course you have much more control over tone and volume with an artificial amplifier but the quality of sound of a tube amplifier is usually preferred by picky musicians.

Our expert, Jeff Naylor, is here to show you what tools and equipment you'll need to get started, how to gain access to the tubes in the back of your amp, how to remove an old tube and replace it with a new one, and how to fine tune your work by setting the bias and correcting the crossover distortion.
