What is tube amplifier?
A tube amplifier is an amplifier that uses vacuum tubes or valves to amplify the electric signals produced by a musical instrument.
How do tube amplifiers work?
Electrons flowing through a tube originate from ground. The cathodes of the EF86 and the EL84 each have a resistor attached to ground. This creates the small DC voltage on their cathodes to prevent the electrons from flowing. When the guitar signal reaches the grid, the electrons then flow.
How do AMPS work?
An amplifier takes an input signal from a source, such as a laptop, turntable or CD player, and creates a larger copy of the original signal before it’s sent to the speakers. It gets the power to do this from your mains electricity, which is sent directly to the power supply within the amplifier.
