I decided to release the book for public download, which was my initial plan anyways. In the future there will be no official 'second edition' of The Science of Electric Guitars and Guitar Electronics, as the material will live and float around here in the Internet. If time permits, I will add and edit the material on this pdf-version. This 'upgraded version' will be developed and published only here at this website. The revision date in the first page will updated accordingly on every 'new release' and the listing below will give more detailed information about the changes made to each chapter. Change logs per each chapter: Disclaimer List of changes (21.04.2013): - Chapter 1: Intro List of changes (21.04.2013): --- added one more method for the transistor bias calculations --- added an example matrix for determining the output impedance --- added a SPICE model for determining the output impedance Chapter 2: Vibes List of changes (21.04.2013): - Chapter 3: Guitar pickups List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 4: Guitar tone control circuits List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 5: Guitar cables List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 6: Effect devices List of changes (02.07.2013): --- added one more method for fuzz and wah circuit bias calculations --- added a discussion on feedback in the section covering the fuzz effect List of changes (13.04.2014): --- rewrote section covering the phase-shift oscillator List of changes (01.07.2014): --- rewrote section covering feedback Chapter 7: Guitar amplifiers List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 8: Loudspeakers List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 9: Tuning devices List of changes (02.07.2013): - Chapter 10: Outro List of changes (02.07.2013): - Nomenclature and Appendices List of changes (13.04.2014): --- added octave script for phase-shift oscillator design |
