Introduction to Guitar Tone and Effects
if it where possible id give it a no star or a half star this book is not worth wasting money. it will just confirm what you already know. i bought it because i thought i was going to read information that explained extensively each pedal effect and talk about pedal chains. i was going to write a lot about it but not worth it, simply put you can google anything that's in this book, you'll have it for free and it will be detailed information .. as opposed to this book.

quite a fun, but not stuff for a single book
I really enjoyed reading this book. It is worth, but contains only small amount of information. You may find the entire contents in the book could be written as a couple of chapters. However, the CD was absolutely useful.

Good introduction
this book is a nice introduction to effects pedals and their use for the guitar enthusiast who doesn't know the difference between a fuzz tone and a compression pedal.
