These books are a bit fragile, please break them in before reading.

They are back! For the two years, Analog Tom worked full time on writing the ultimate effects book, released in 2004. Now we're proud to announce the re-release of Analog Man's Guide To Vintage Effects in 2013

NOTE:

These books can be a bit fragile, pages can get loose if you are not careful, and Analog Man did not print these (Tom did) so we can't really refund the book if it gets damaged as we pay almost full price from Tom for them. See the video above to break in the book before reading it.

Originally published in December 2004, Analog Man's Guide to Vintage Effects is now in its Second Printing, having sold thousands upon thousands of copies since its release.

"... this book is one-stop shopping for just about anything you need to know about stompboxes. Highly recommended!" - Art Thompson, Guitar Player magazine
