Acknowledgements

This site would not be here if not for the help, encouragement and kindness of the following people. These are acknowlegments from JD Sleep – sole proprietor at General Guitar Gadgets. My heartfelt thanks to all listed and to those I should have, but forgot to list.

This is not a list of my personal references. The list ranges from very close friends to a few that I don’t personally know, but whose work (e.g. books) have greatly influenced me over the years.

Joy Sleep – My wife and soul-mate, a constant source of encouragement and love.
Alfonso Hermida – A great friend. Over the years Alfonso has personally helped me out more than anyone else on the list. A big “Thanks” here, but it doesn’t even begin to express my gratitude.
R.G. Keen – I really got into DIY effects back in the mid-90’s when the internet really took off and R.G. was already there. He’s helped me out so many ways and so many times I can’t even count ’em.
Matt Farrow – We used to live in the same area and the time we’ve spent together was invaluable and lots of fun too.
Craig Anderton – I’ll always consider Craig to be the “King of DIY Guitar Effects”. I grew up with his books and although it took years to come to grips with some of his projects, his books and articles have always been, and still are a joy and inspiration to me.
