3.0 out of 5 stars Good Information but I expected more., July 23, 2001
This fellow does a good job for what the book is, but I was hoping for more. Many of the items presented here are a little too simple and needless, and many are duplicated in other items bearing his name. I was hoping for more sophisticated items, and the sophisticated items here are available elsewhere. If you have never heard of Craig, then this is an excellent place to start, but if you know PAIA, or have Craigs other book on stomp boxes, you will feel as I do.

2.0 out of 5 stars if i'd known better i wouldn't have bought this book, July 6, 1999
By A Customer
I just wanted to say that this book is nothing like what it's advertised as. i bought this book a few months ago and i'm still confused. There are no helpful drawings of suggestions for curcuit boards. most of the ic chips in the parts list are outdated and almost impossible to find. to make it worse, there are only a few useful projects. this book should be regarded as a failure and avoided.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start, but not great, January 8, 2002
By Sergio Majluf (chile

Chile) - See all my reviews

If you know nothing about electronics, it will help as an introduction.
The projects vary from dumb-easy to newbie threatening (rocktave divider)....and only few were *really* useful.
Each project has a 'how it works' section, wich helps understanding the electronics behind the projects. This is basic, but VERY GOOD.
With such a basic aproach in the introduction, the book lacks PCB design, or breadboarding techniques
Overall, it's ok...
