Amp Tech Tip #3: Amplifiers have resistors
Question:
All guitar amplifiers have resistors and all resistors have resistance. Resistor values are often identified by a color code scheme. On most resistors of 5% tolerance or greater, there are usually four bands, with the first three aligned towards one end of the resistor and the fourth on the opposite end. The first two bands denote the first and second significant digits of the resistor value, the third band represents a multiplier, and the fourth band represents the resistor tolerance. On resistors of tighter tolerance, usually 3% and lower, there will be a third significant digit, for a total of five bands, again with the first four aligned towards one end of the resistor and the fifth on the opposite end. Occasionally you will see the value printed on resistors in the 4-digit numerical code format, with a letter indicating tolerance.

That’s just not true. My amps only have rather vocal proponents. They all shout praise and utter nothing but very encouraging words. Occasionally they mutter some snide comments about that fat guy in Denver, but that’s to be expected. –E

Please Mr. Ether, we don’t need to be reminded! http://www.spoogehunters.com/

Well, I *try* to resist, but sometimes I just… can’t. ;O) -DC

Plagarized from http://www.aikenamps.com/ResistorColorCode.htm Lest anybody be fooled, the gerbil in Marcie’s ass has more technical expertise…on any subject, including reading headers, than Marcie. How’s that killer sitcom deal going, Loser? Bwa-hahahahaha!

You transsexuals always have the most deviant sexual fantasies. Sad. Keep dreaming of your tranny-meets-fatty tryst with Willie, if it gets you over your surgical scars. –E

Good God, he’s spoofing his own spoof and debunking his own plaigerizing! There *are* new lows in AGA! Go Moon! btw- Schrute awaites you Tues. Night. LOVED the Dateline NBC expose.
