Sorry about last thread. Pressed Enter by acciendent, Oops. Anyway, it's called 'The Practical Guide to Guitar Effects Pedals'. I think it's as much a book just for general interest though. Still worth checking out. It explains a lot of effects, how they work, that sort of stuff.

Re: good books

I think the best amp books are the two volumes by Gerald Weber.

For guitar players with limited experience, Dan Torre's book Inside Tube Amps is a good introduction but only a good introduction. Once you get a feel for what's really going on, the Torres book is pretty much like a Kindergarten book. But we all start in Kindergarten so it's still worthwhile as an intro.

Kevin O Conner's amp books are more in depth...but I'd start with the Weber and Torres books if it's all new to you and you're just beginning.
