Customer Review: Thirty years old, but still the best ANALOG guitar electronics book

I've had my copy for many, many years and have built many of the projects in the book, or ones similar to them. You can find a lot of the information from this book, and similar circuits using modern components online. But the book is still a good starting place.



Should it be updated? Absolutely, but what's here isn't incorrect or superseded by newer information, rather you need to add to it with some searching on the web. Electronic components have changed immensely since the book came out but once you understand what is happening in the circuits you can readily adapt.

Customer Review: The good and the bad

I am basically a 100% newb and this is a great place to get your feet wet in electronics. That being said, I was hoping to be able to build some of these projects though. I'm not a guitar player myself but was hoping to give some cool pedals away to friends. After diving into some of the projects, even buying a few parts and pieces, I realized there are very few of these projects that are even buildable. He uses an IC in most of his projects that isn't available anymore and I haven't found information as of yet on a replacement. Even if I did I would have to redesign the circuit boards in the books to fit my needs. Other reviewers made this clear and I should have paid more attention before buying the book. There are other books out there that are cheaper that will get teach you the basics, this was sadly a disappointment.
