Ah, but isn't it good to experiment?

That's what got us into all of this after all. ;)

As this isn't an electronics forum, BYOC effects would serve this community more than adequately. Also, once you start thinking 'outside the kit', even the most knowing minds are catered for.

Do a search for anything by R.G. Keen - http://www.geofex.com/
Book - Http://www.smallbearelec.com/Categories.bok?category=Books+And+Publ...

Craig Anderton also has a great book, however, most of his stuff can be found on the web since his material has been around for some time. Regardless of it's "age" this book is legendary amongst DYI circles.

Brian Wampler has a good book to get one started - http://www.indy-guitarist.com/books_

Not only is John Lyons a great pedal builder, he also has some great articles available on his main page - http://www.mrdwab.com/john/ If you want to know how to etch PCB's read his article. By the way, this technique can also be used to etch images onto aluminum (boxes).

Now, if you want your pedal addictions to grow, you have got to be a member here - http://www.freestompboxes.org/

Do I need to point out the significance of Make?
target="_blank">http://makezine.com/ (they should be one of your advertisers/links). They've published three books with two cigar box builds and are a wealth of information for anybody interested in gadget basics.

This last link might be a departure from the simplicity of CGB building and FX pedals, but, I was wiring up a tricky guitar circuit last year and happened upon it. It is perhaps the most complete single source for guitar wiring I have ever found and I consider it the best $15 I spent in 2009 - http://snotboards.com/guitar.html
