Auburn Amplifiers
Auburn Amplifiers' Rob Robson shares tips and info for musicians, listeners and techs who want to gain some insights into the nuts and bolts of electric musical instruments and vacuum tube amplifiers. Auburn Amplifiers builds semi-custom vacuum tube musical instrument and playback amplifiers. Auburn Amplifiers are carefully made by hand using top-quality components and materials. On the other hand, the videos on this channel are unabashedly low-tech and were usually dreamed up a few minutes before hitting 'record'. If you have a topic you'd like Rob to cover or a music gear myth you'd like to see blown to little bits, just send us a message and we'll do our best to get to it. In the meantime, we wish you a day full of music.
