I've got all the books for the library assembled. I'll get a zip file up in a day or two.

Sweet.  Thanks!

There's this too:  www.muzique.com/schem/filter.htm

All -- Quick follow-up question on the R.G. Keen book.  I presume we're talking about "PCB Layout for Musical Effects" -- is that right?  If so, does it cover more than taking schematics and turning them into PCBs?  The online descriptions I've found haven't made this clear to me.

Thanks again!

Yeah, for the record, I have no designs on becoming an EE, or even accumulating all the knowledge an EE has.  For me, it's just for fun.  Legos on steroids. 

Along these same lines, I certainly don't consider myself a "real" luthier, but as you can see from my video, I know enough to get by.  And really, that's all I'm looking for here.  Just enough to have some idea what would be required to accomplish task X. 

(And truth be told, I don't mind making mistakes.  Some of them will fry a chip, but some will be damn cool.)

Anyway, I appreciate all the input!

Roger that!   

Thanks guys.  I may give them all a read.  Cheers!

Hey all, I'm an apprentice project builder and brand new to the forum.  I enjoy building pedals that others have concocted, but eventually I want to be able to design my own.  In that spirit, I'm looking for a good beginners or "dummies style" book that will give me a better understanding of what the various components do.  I have a basic understanding of how things work, but I want to crank up my understanding of the theory behind it all.

The ultimate goal is to be able to come up with an idea in my head -- for example, "I want an LFO that sweeps a filter" -- and then be able to figure out how to do it.

Any recommendations?

THANKS.

PS -- Although I've only built a few pedals, I'm a quick study.  For example, I taught myself how to build guitars and have built around 10 so far.  Here's a video of a couple I recently built ... enjoy:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLPfQydjYLs
