I have been trying to find a non complicated guide to incorporating effects and setting my amplifer for the best possible sounds.
This book is packed full with information about these subjects and much more.
I really liked looking over famouis guitarists rigs, to see what players like Hendrix, Clapton, Van Halen, and others used in their rig.
Great book and excellent audio CD< the songs and jams are inspiring and showcase the various tones and effects wonderfully.

After asking for help for a book with effects for my guitar, the sales person at Borders suggested this book. It answered my questions, and I bought it. It is a must for guitarists wanting to find his/her voice on guitar. I also enjoy the "famous guitarists" section; by listening to what guitarists have done in the past, I found what I can do now and in the future. The approach of the text and the CD are great. D. Brewster makes it appear easy, but it is an important addition to my desired style.

I saw this book in a music store and looked it over, then i ordered it online (it was cheaper that way!), and I must say that it's a good book for beginner's who are overwhelmed by all of the different effects and tonal options that guitarists have today.
The CD is good, and there are a bunch of solid riffs and licks on there to keep you interested while you're reading from the book. I also like the way some of the examples feature the effect off and then the riff is repeated with it turned on so you can hear the difference.
The effects chain diagrams and proper connections were helpful.
It covers just about every aspect of getting a good tone and keeping it.
Highly recommended!
