Recommended Reading. actually the basic education for what we do can be found at AMZ and GEOFEX... there are many articles at both of those places written by  two of our patriarchs around here, RG Keen and Jack Orman, real world effects designers/engineers.  Thats where I would start.... then Jack and Indyguitarist Brian Wampler (Wampcat1) have books and projects available... I have two of Wamplers books, "How to Modify Effects" and his advanced effects design book...both are great.  First recommended reads: Mr. Orman's Lab Notebook, RG Keen's "The technology of..." and then use the Wiki and Search funtions here on the forum, I've leanred a ton that way....

Craig Anderton and Roger Clay published the DEVICE newsletter for electronic guitarists during 1979, but it folded all too quickly.  I scanned the series and posted them at my site: http://hammer.ampage.org     VERY recommended reading.  I've also posted a number of projects from Anderton and others that appeared in Polyphony, Electronic Musician (which is what Polyphony essentially morphed into) at the same site.

Robert Keeley does a sort of DIY article every month for musicians hotline (I think that is the name? Someone correct me if I'm wrong!  ), I write a DIY article for guitarjam.net every couple of months or so...I also have a DIY newsletter ( http://www.indyguitarist.com/free ) and I think Keith at byoc does too ( www.buildyourownclone.com ). Other than that, I don't think there is any other strictly DIY publication. This forum is probably your #1 solution though.
