AGAweb FAQs

``The fact that many things about tube guitar amp design are universally-hallowed misconceptions doesn't make them right.'' -lbrty4us

Here are the Frequently Asked Questions and their answers, for the alt.guitar.amps newsgroup. You will also find here some questions that should be asked more frequently.

We are looking for people to own and maintain these. They can reside on this server, or if you have server space that will be stable, we can link there. (Stability includes not only the server's availability, but your pages staying there for a long time, as opposed to moving around.)

If you are interested in maintaining one of these, send email to agaATrru.com . (Change the AT to an @ . We get enough spam already without putting that address out here!)

If you think other FAQs are needed, let us know.
