Hal Leonard is releasing a book sure to excite much of the crowd attending the NAMM show: Pedalmania: The Complete Guide to Stompboxes and Pedalboards.
Ever since the first effect pedals emerged in the mid-20th century, the race for creating the perfect guitar tone has continued strong, culminating in an industry with a wide variety of options for crafting sounds to fit every taste and need.
Author Vinnie DeMasi and veteran pedalboard builder Tom Peck guide readers through this complex and evolving world of tone in a beginner-friendly guide, covering topics such as: overdrive, distortion, and fuzz; compression and EQ; delays, echoes, and reverb; building basic and advanced boards; maintenance and troubleshooting; recreating iconic stompbox sounds; and more!
The book includes tons of photos as well as access to online video demonstrations that ensure that readers will understand the concepts being presented.
Pedalmania retails for $24.99. Interested retailers can contact the Hal Leonard E-Z Order Line at 1-800-554-0626 or sales@halleonard.com
