Anybody know if there is a pdf of this around? According to the interweb, it's been unavailable for awhile now.

R.G. Hangs out over at diysb, you might be able to come up with something there if no one here has it.

I had this book but lent it out years ago and never saw it again! There's some good stuff in it.

Yep, it was your suggestion in an old thread that led me to it. ;D  I don't know if it's coming back, I checked the Geo site and that seems down too.

But I also found a download cash you recommended and it has enough to read for this year, anyway.  Cheers.

They do printings of them occasionally. Small Bear did one a few years ago and had them in stock as recently as last year sometime. You might send Steve an email and see if there are any plans for another run - if not, at least it'll inform him that there is some demand.

Man, I have a copy of this in storage that I can't get into :/

It's a good book, there is some good info in there. That said though you can really find most of the info online other places. Especially YouTube videos.

Good tip, I'll do that.

Yeah, I'm gathering a lot of good stuff already.  I just liked the idea of a pedal specific book  ;D

Moosapotamous has some pretty cool pedal specific electronics articles: http://www.moosapotamus.net/stompboxology.html (http://www.moosapotamus.net/stompboxology.html)

Hmm.. looks like there may be some more of those stompboxology reprints out there somewhere.
