Here's a pretty good site that's fairly easy on the grey matter
https://robrobinette.com/How_Amps_Work.htm
No worries, I was researching something else on TDPRI in the Glowing Bottle sub forum and stumbled across it.
Make sure you credit the source as you work your way through it for stuff to share, folks get very narky over on the car club forum when something is obviously copied and pasted
I've made 3 valve amps so far and all have had the exact tone I was looking for.
Funny thing is, I have absolutely NO idea how they work, even though my knowledge of electricity is way above average. (I'm an electrical trades teacher at TAFE)

Gday Doc,
Have you got another chapter ready to go yet, I need some prodding to get into building a Trainwreck clone
Not yet, but I'll see if I can do another chapter soon, had some other things occupying my attention, one other forum member added a link to a website that pretty much covers how Valve amps work in a lot of detail, hence the reason why I haven't done another chapter yet.
Sorry about that link, I only had a quick scan and didn't realise how deep it went
