Aspen Pittman, founder of Groove Tubes and author of The Tube Amp Book, died last weekend in a car crash in Southern California. Pittman spent the '60s working at the first Guitar Center. In 1979, he founded Groove Tubes and revolutionized tube amps. He made an even bigger mark on the guitar world with The Tube Amp Book. Amp builders have used the book for years.

When you listened to the amp with our electrically matched tubes it didn't sound any better, at all!

Groove Tubes had drawn a cult following in its 30 years of producing vacuum tubes, which musicians and audiophiles prize for their warm sound. Rick Benson, 57, started as Groove Tube sales manager 20 years ago but still gets giddy talking about getting calls from Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and Eddie Van Halen.

Whether you are a dedicated audiophile who wants to gain a more complete understanding of the design issues behind a truly great amp, a professional electronic designer seeking to learn more about the art of amplifier design, or looking to page through the use of amps through music history, guaranteed there is a book here for you.
