This book presents vacuum tube amplifier theory using modern, web-based design tools and computer visualizations to eliminate the usual litany of mathematical formulasThe book begins with the fundamentals of electronics and vacuum tubesIt then proceeds through each stage of a modern guitar amplifier, including preamp voltage amplification stages, cathode followers, tone stacks, power amps, phase inverters, and power suppliesThe final chapter is devoted to the craft of controlling overdrive dynamics and harmonic distortion.
Merlin's books and website are great, and very thorough, but there are multiple different books for preamps, power amps, hifi design, etc, and I think the power supply book is out of print and he's been holding off on an update, though much of that is available online. The Kuehnel and Megantz books I mentioned are top to bottom in one volume with the Kuehnel being a bit more thorough and also connected to the design calculators and such on his website.
