First sentence: Hard to believe it nowadays - when faced with the sight of a leather-clad, Les Paul-toting Zakk Wylde wailing straddle-legged in front of a blaring pair of Marshall double-stacks - but guitarists in bands once had a serious inferiority complex.
Description: "The main focus of Dave Hunter's Practical Handbook is, of course, to steer you through the potential sonic minefield of the effects pedal market. To this end, all of the world's best-loved and most striking guitar sounds and effects are discussed here: right from the earliest known - like natural tube amp overdrive, built-in spring reverb, manual vibrato and tremolo - up to the newer breed of Super Dupers, Fuse Blowers, Robotalks, Erogenous Moans, and Wobulators."--BOOK JACKET.
