In a guitarist-friendly style, the book explores: What each type of effect does, exactly - & the way it combines with your guitar & amplifier tone. How pedals work - the basic internal components & wiring... explaining which parts matter (& why), & which ones might be over-hyped. The best order to connect pedals - should you distort your reverb or reverberate your distortion? How to make the most of the pedals you have.. & which new ones you might add to expand your options.
