Meet the makers, and artists

Apart from the systematic sections on effect types, and general subjects, PEDAL CRUSH features interviews with the passionate makers of effects pedals, and the artists who use them. We have already started interviewing - and when more artists, and makers are confirmed, we will keep you updated. Besides the interviews, the chapters are spiced up with fact boxes, and sidebars on artists' famous/favorite pedals, tips and tricks, and information on techniques and what to look for.

Interviews with artists using effects pedals:

Like in our two previous books, readers will meet a range of inspiring artists ranging from known guitar masters to creative artists like Ed O'Brien (Radiohead), Dub FX, Hainbach, Trentemøller, Lara Somogyi, Nels Cline, Nick Reinhart, Tycho, DJ Kid Koala, and many others. 

interviews with pedal makers and brands

Pedal creators and brands, which are particularly evident to the scene, are featured in specific interviews, such as BOSS, Strymon, Zvex Effects, Chase Bliss Audio, Electro-Harmonix, Empress Effects, Keeley Electronics, Death By Audio, EarthQuaker Devices, TC Electronic, Hologram Electronics, and many more.

Overall structure and main sections

The book is divided in main sections of effect types. Each chapter within these introduce technical, usable, and audible features of the effect, and ramps up from basic options to effects pedals with more advanced combinations. The sections of the book will all contain contemporary effects as well as historic touch points, vintage rarities, and "oddballs."

Risks and challenges

As an author and designer, I, Kim have written and designed more than a handful of books before, so I know the process and what to do. All files involved in the production are backed up regularly to two different hardware locations and one cloud service.

The printing will be done in a reputable printing facility in Denmark, which is specialized in book printing. They have printed some of my books before, and that's why I chose them: They are easy to communicate with and delivers outstanding quality - it's the same printing facility as we used in printing PUSH TURN MOVE and PATCH & TWEAK.

The fulfillment is done by professional companies, who handle our usual shipping. They will be responsible for sending most of the books out, from the facilities in UK, Germany, and the US.

For the record: The book is completely commercial-free, and we are not paid to include any company, artist or product; content is selected purely by relevance to the overall purpose of the book. We are in close contact with the artists, makers, and designers contributing to this book and they trust us in our aim to deliver the best.
