I thought I knew a lot about pedals and effects, but, boy, was I wrong ;D

I got my copy yesterday. It's such an overwhelming amount of information between the explanations of how different effects work, interviews with pedal makers, and tips for things to try. I've mostly been looking at the pretty pictures so far though, it's worth it just for that.

Wow. Just the interviews with the pedal makers listed is a who’s who of some of the greatest pedals out now (my opinion), as well as some of the artists.

I will need to get this book at some point soon. It has to be full of great information, and pictures are a cool bonus!

Thanks for the great tip !!

I enjoy the pedal demos he does as "Knobs" and recently he was very involved in the development of the Chase Bliss Blooper... and those videos were somewhat interesting, so I thought I'd give the book a go too. I ordered it last week, but things usually take a while to arrive from Europe.

(I also supported the Blooper Kickstarter, and I believe those were supposed to be shipped out on the 12th.... so hopefully that will reach me soon too).

His custom guitar is kinda cool too (from @knobs_demos on Instagram):

It looks great, but I'll wait for the Behringer version.

Didn't realize that he was the knobs guy. He's one of my favorite pedal demo video people.

I've bought a few pedals based mostly on his videos, most notably the Hologram Infinite Jets and the 3 Meris pedals that he does together in one video (Ottobit Jr., Mercury 7 and Polymoon).

I will have to get this book.

My book arrived today.

Wow!

I've only had a quick flick through at this point, but this is the most ridiculously thorough book on anything I've ever seen.

My Chase Bliss Blooper also arrived the other day. I've updated the firmware and had a quick play..... this is going to be fun.

There's even a mention of OSG in the book, in the Reuss interview at page 110 8)
