DVD - INSTRUMENTAL INNOVATORS: THE GUITAR TONE COLLECTION: This 3-hour and 40-minute 2-DVD set explores the vision & technical concepts of three guitar amplification pioneers: Hartley Peavey, Founder of Peavey Electronics; James Brown, Chief Engineer at Kustom Amplification; and Ben Fargen, founder and CEO of Fargen Amplification, Hand-Crafted Guitar Amps. Peavey was the first to use CNC (computer numerical control) to commercially produce guitar parts with extremely close tolerances, forever changing the face of guitar manufacturing. Peavey notes "Nothing perfect will ever be made by the hand of man, but we keep getting closer, and closer, and closer." After serving an apprenticeship at Peavey Electronics, Brown became the Chief Engineer at Kustom Amplification. Guitarists Rob Fetters and Scotty Anderson join Brown to put 36 and 72-watt ."Kustom Coupe." all-tube amps through their paces. A hybrid - Kustom HV - model combining tube and solid-state technology is also briefly visited. A relative newcomer, Fargen is an accomplished blues/rock guitarist as well as an expert "boutique" tube amp designer. Fargen's interest in tube amps arose from the need to repair his own small collection of vintage amplifiers. He demonstrates his own gear, from the newly-drilled circuit board to four finished amplifier/speaker cabinet combinations, all within his small manufacturing facility.
