(Please read the disclaimer below!) I play guitar. In late 2016, I watched a video where blues guitarist Joe Bonamassa got technical about his amplifiers. That video left me wanting to know so much more about audio circuits. Over the following year, I got my hands dirty with guitar amps, tube radios, and other electronics. I eventually built a electronics lab and now, I love to fix this stuff. This channel documents the lab and my work.
