Kurzbeschreibung

A colorful time warp back to when a weird little gadget fuzzed the lead guitar on a certain Rolling Stones hit and made history in the sonics of rock and pop
-- The story of the device that created some of the most famous sounds of the '60s and '70s
-- Includes 200 photos of these wild, sound-shaping inventions
-- Appeals to the millions of guitarists who use stompboxes today

The Stones' "Satisfaction". The Beatles' "Taxman". Jimi Hendrix' "Star-Spangled Banner/Purple Haze". These historical songs plus thousands more from the '60s and '70s owe a huge debt to a little gadget called the stompbox.

Stompboxes are fuzz boxes, talk boxes, wah-wah pedals, reverb and tremolo bars, and other add-on devices electric guitarists use to distort and sculpt their instrument's sound, creating outrageous effects. Stompboxologist Art Thompson describes the development of these odd little units with the unique analog tones, and shows how they're making a powerful comeback today -- even over digital effects.

Tracing its roots to the 1948 invention of the transistor, Thompson reveals how the stompbox's creators, manufacturers, and guitarists created weird, riveting effects that enticed more and more players to innovate.

Readers go behind the scenes to see some of the musical accidents that led to the stompbox. For example, at the 1961 Nashville studio session for Marty Robbins's "Don't Worry", when a channel in the mixing board began distorting, the guitarist kept playing -- creating Nashville's first recorded fuzz solo and an insatiable demand for the strange effect.

Stompboxes had wacky shapes, wild colors, and crazy names like Fuzz Wah Diddy and Orange Squeezer. This unusual book ispacked with photos -- more than half in color -- of these relics as well as vintage reissues by the key manufacturers.

Synopsis

Stompboxes are guitar effect pedals that guitarists use to distort and sculpt their instrument's sound. This book tells the story of these pedals, including the more unusual stompboxes and their strange shapes, colours and names, such as "orange squeezer" and "fuzz wah diddy".

Einleitungssatz
Compared with luthiers and amp builders, stompbox makers have always been on guitar gear's lunatic fringe, getting about the same degree of peer respect as aboriginal medicine men do from brain surgeons. Lesen Sie die erste Seite

This book has a great deal of information for those of us who like Stompboxes. What a wealth of knowledge that has been accumulated by Mr. Thompson that we should all be thankful for. I have been collecting stompboxes for over 25 years and found plenty of new information and history that fills in many of the voids that I had. I would love to see it in color photos as I'm sure the future will have that in store. Good Job! Bring us more!

As the US/Canadian importer and distributor for Roger Mayer professional effects I found this work to be detailed and accurate. For late generation players it's a rich resource on not only the electronic and package designs but more interesting to me, the people and events that shaped their existance and how they evolved. Thanks to a Art for much hard work.

This book is full of old stompbox pictures and interesting stories from their creators. The first part deals with the evolution of the different effects, and the remainder of the book tells the stories of the manufacturers. This really is a HISTORY book set mainly in the 1960s and 70s. While there are a number of references to artists who have used the effects in question, I would have liked more track-specific references so that I might really know what these things SOUND like.
