If you enjoyed these effects, then the next step is to get a copy of Craig Anderton’s Electronic Projects for Musicians (which is the book that gets most amateur stomp-box tinkerers going) and its companion, Do-It-Yourself Projects for Guitarists, also by Anderton.

PAiA sells many reasonably priced effects kits (as well as kits for building modular synths and theremins), including updated versions of several of the designs Anderton describes in his books. See http://www.paia.com/.

As is the case with several electronic projects in this section, the Two-Transistor Fuzztone was inspired by T. Escobedo’s circuit and instrument designs. Although Escobedo’s excellent FolkUrban website is no longer online, I’ve archived several of his projects, including a whole slew of effects circuits like these, at http://www.davideriknelson.com/sbsb/. If you’ve built the projects in this book, then most of Escobedo’s designs are well within your grasp.
