"Thee Book!"

The best book on guitar stomp boxes ever,good luck finding parts now,P.A.I.A still sells his boards and parts but not all.

electronic projects

Wonderful book! I built about half the projects 25 years ago, and I am so glad it is still in print. The effects are wonderful, very high quality, and the instructions make the construction process very do-able.

Great Book, Great Price

I've been around stomp boxes for a few years now (I worked at 4 Guitar Centers and was consistently the 'go-to' guy in the guitar accessories/effects department) and have had a chance to hear good natural sounding botique type pedals and really compressed not so great pedals. For me, this motivated me to get into building stompboxes. The book is really easy to follow. Topics covered include: * Tools to have in your electronics lab * Straight forward schematics and projects * Concepts of electronics * Component overviews Be warned: This book is not intended to teach the mathematics and calculations down to a component level. It touches on basic ideas but in order to understand this book's contents, it might be beneficial to have some prior exposure to electronics to really understand it (ie: schematically literate, able to assemble circuits, etc...). Overall, an amazing value! After reading online reviews, I understand why this book is a standard in hobbyist's and professional's workbenches :)

Still relevant after all these years...

I was in a bunch of bands growing up in the late 80's. I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do with my life but was dabbling in electronics. Then I found this book at the library...To make a long story short I don't play music much anymore but am an electrical engineer.I still own a copy of this book and would never think of getting rid of it. Though we are in an age of digital signal processing, this book still stands the test of time. It is literally a timeless classic in applied electronics!!!!

Step-by-step intro to building F/X for electric instruments

This outstanding book presents a number of useful circuits for shaping the sound of electric instruments. Starting with small projects and presenting gradually more difficult jobs, the author takes the reader by the hand and makes easy the whole process of building a "stomp box." You can save money, or create a more powerful tool than is commercially available, or sometimes even both. Best book of its kind. No electronics knowledge necessary to begin - but you will have some when you're done!
