Whether amateur or pro, guitarists live for the ultimate sound.
Guitar Amps & Effects For Dummies provides the

make it your own! Written in the characteristically easy-to-read
Dummies style, this book is ideal for beginners and
experienced musicians alike, and can help all players expand their
skill set with effects. Guitarists tend to be gearheads when it
comes to sound, and this book provides guidance on topics ranging
from the guitar itself to amps, pedals, and other sound
technology.
Amps and effects are the unsung heroes of guitar music. While
most people recognize the more psychedelic effects, many don’t
realize that effects are often responsible for the unique quality
of tone that can become a musician’s trademark. Certain effects
work on the volume or signal level, others work on the environment,
and still others work on the bass and treble content. Guitar
Amps & Effects For Dummies covers them all, and shows how
effects can not only add something extra, but also 'fix’
problematic areas. Topics include:
* Gain-based effects, like distortion, compression, volume
pedals, and gates
* Tone-based effects, including graphic and parametric EQ, and
the wah-wah pedal
* Modulation effects, like the flanger, phase shifter, and
tremolo
* Ambience effects, including reverb and delay
The journey to incredible guitar music never ends. No matter how
experienced you are with a guitar, there is always room for
improvement to your tone and sound. Whether you’re looking for the
sound of angels or thunder, Guitar Amps & Effects For
Dummies will help you achieve the music you hear in your
dreams.
