Hi everyone!

I've built quite a few clones, and I want to start designing my own circuits. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start? Any good books or articles?

Thanks!

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

Search for some old "Stompboxology" issues online, good reading. 
And what R.G. said.

Plus, AMZ (link at top), beavis audio, Runoffgroove, there is a ton of info out there...immerse yourself, the ideas will come :)

Don't discount YouTube...EEVBlog videos are great!

I haven't been able to look at beavis audio for ages. It's vanished like a fart in a windstorm.
