Guitar Effects

Steve Daniels at Small Bear Electronics carries many strange (and many not-so-strange) parts that you might need to complete these projects, ranging from enclosures to IC chips.

Other websites containing complete DIY FX projects include J.D. Sleep's generalguitargadgets, R.G. Keen's GEOFEX, Mark Hammer's hammer.ampage.org.

The AX84 project is one of the first online information sources for making your own tube amps.

If you have fx questions, be sure to read Aron Nelson's FAQ or the general reading at GEOFEX.

If you still have fx questions, be sure to check out the forums on Aron's site, Ampage, or Jack Orman's Muzique.

Vintage King Audio has the best sounding studio gear, now they also have guitar pedals, check them out.
