Stompbox: A Visual Exploration of the Guitar Pedal

A photographic celebration of the unsung hero of guitar music-the effects pedal-featuring interviews with 100 musicians. As soon as the first effects pedals were introduced in the 1960s, they were adopted by musicians who used them to craft custom sounds. Until now, however, the pedal hasn't been given its due. Stompbox illustrates the connection between 100 musicians and the devices that help them shape their music. A visual treat for collectors, guitar players, and music fans, Stompbox reveals the pedals behind some of rock 'n' roll's signature sounds.
