Craig Anderton also has a great book, however, most of his stuff can be found on the web since his material has been around for some time. Regardless of it's "age" this book is legendary amongst DYI circles.
Not only is John Lyons a great pedal builder, he also has some great articles available on his main page - http://www.mrdwab.com/john/ If you want to know how to etch PCB's read his article. By the way, this technique can also be used to etch images onto aluminum (boxes).
Do I need to point out the significance of Make?

This last link might be a departure from the simplicity of CGB building and FX pedals, but, I was wiring up a tricky guitar circuit last year and happened upon it. It is perhaps the most complete single source for guitar wiring I have ever found and I consider it the best $15 I spent in 2009 - http://snotboards.com/guitar.html
As this isn't an electronics forum, BYOC effects would serve this community more than adequately. Also, once you start thinking 'outside the kit', even the most knowing minds are catered for.
I`d say so too at a glance.
The general guitars site has an absolute wealth if information on it....

I dunno... General guitar gadgets is a pretty good site. Tons of articles to go with the schematics. BYOC seems to be mostly an online store. The forum looks useful though.

Hi,
Thank you for the link Michael. I have just ordered a few echo/delay integrated chips off ebay to try out a few circuits (probably arrive after christmas now). It will probably end up costing more than a secondhand effects pedal but will be more fun to do. No doubt after a couple of months of frustration I'll be ordering one of the premade circuitboards (LOL).
Regards,
David
Hi, Has anyone come across a simple design for a chorus effect (I have looked at the Boss CE2 circuit and the Zombie circuits and both seem a bit complex) - On a guitar with two pick ups am I right in thinking that to get an onboard echo/chorus effect all I need is one pickup to go to the output and another to go via a delay circuit to the same output? This would then do away with alot of the circuits used in a chorus effects named above. Regards,
David
This is the kinda stuff that gets me in trouble, I just need to stop looking while I'm ahead, and focus on simple stuff like building cbg's....lol. :-)

byoc is nice for beginers because it is so basic all you have to do is put them together. but if you are already comfotable with electronices they may be a little boring.

That's what got us into all of this after all. ;)
