     Tech Writing Samples:
       Example #1
- Procedure: Tube Amp Construction (PDF)  (25.5 MB) - This procedure, taken from a guitar amplifier project book that I'm currently writing,
is intended for a target audience that includes electronic hobbyists at a beginner to intermediate level. This procedure contains a "walk through"
of one of several tube amp "recipes" to be included in the book.
- Schematic: Tube Amp Construction (PDF)  - This schematic was created with Adobe Illustrator and was converted to PDF. As a vector graphic,
this schematic can be zoomed in and out without loss of resolution, and can also be downloaded.
- Layout Diagram: Tube Amp Construction (PDF)  - This layout diagram was also created with Adobe Illustrator, and converted to PDF. As a vector
graphic, this diagram can be zoomed in and out without loss of resolution, and can also be downloaded.
