Life is too short for bad tone. Modern amplifier, speaker, effectsand guitar production is more consistent than it has ever been. Thereis also more information on how to use these tools today, so it'seasier to get good tone than ever before. There is also more choice andoptions than ever before, so it's also easier to get bad tone thanever.

Guitar amplification is a specialised field, where muchcommonly understood theory does not apply, and little theory ispublished. Technically speaking, a guitar amplifier has a specific typeof non-linear gain at its signal extremes, and a specialised type oflimited frequency response. Most published theory and learning is aimedat maximising linearity and avoiding any type of clipping ordistortion, with the intention to preserve signal quality.
