Title: where to find- newbie guide to understand effects...
Post by: tele_guitarist on March 27, 2004, 01:59:13 AM
Anyone know of any good websites to find easy to understand explanations of how effects work, and what each part does?

for example:
Capacitors do what?
Resistors do what?
etc., of course, I'm looking for the explanation of what they do in relation to effect circuits.

Thanks.

Geofex is an amazing resource for information. Go to //www.generalguitargadgets.com, look under articles and look for Richardo X's "cook your own distortion". I've found that an amazingly helpful article ;)
