Members lefort_1 Posted April 3, 2006 Members Share Posted April 3, 2006 I've just spent another evening with this book,and I find it to be more fun than making a thousand posts here. If you haven't got one, I highly recommend it.We should all know some of the history of how wegot to our current situation, and appreciate the challenges of making effects when you couldn't just fire up a DSP chip. Plus, it'll rekindle the GASfires, if they've been burning low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a gal would be banned for that. But a certain gal owes me a book review after making a parody thread about my poor dead cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mumford Posted April 4, 2006 Members Share Posted April 4, 2006 As far as I know, it comes from a Guitar Player editorial years ago by Walter Becker. At least that was where I heard it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's in the middle of moving into a new house and has also visited the musikmesse in Germany. So he's busy, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
