Preview here. I ordered from Amazon. Bit out of date, but I think it will be of interest.

Eh... I got the Effects Handbook and the Pickups Handbook. Also lots of interesting stuff. Explains what each pedal is meant to be, and how you can optimise a rig setup by understanding more. Might want to check those out too!

Effects Handbook by Dave Hunter? I have that.
Also got the Analog Man guide to vintage effects, which is awesome.

Yeah... the Dave Hunter one... I sort of find the pickup handbook more useful than the Effects one. Talks about how pickups achieve their tones, and what variables would affect what... Good read.

Analogman on vintage effects? Must go see...:mrgreen:

other than the book, heres a dvd for pedals. although imho, its like some indirect advertisment for the pedals, its good to put a face to the people behind those pedal.

i remember a post at one of the fx forums that went on something like this.... WTF does a box painter gotta do with FUZZES!!!! hur hur hur....

some vintage NOS can't get em anymore can't build em anymore comments also gets on my nerves all the time! heard the pedal and urrrggghhh... how can anyone deal with that kind of background hiss?

hiss, analog, mojo, tone

talking bout that, recently i came across a thread on analogman efx book. Apparent there were couple of pics and stuff in the book, that was taken from one of the biggest efx collectors in europe, without his permission to be published in the book.
