As a "cultured novice" but willing learner, can anyone recommend any resources for understanding electronics of acoustic signal processing?
I can build with a PCB ("solder by numbers"), but I'd be interested in a book or site that explains how each component affects the sound. More than just "these diodes clip harder than those diodes," I'd like simple explanations for the buzzwords, abbreviations, why certain parts are used or for what they're used, etc, basically like a "Pedal Building for Dummies."
I figure the only real way to become better and maybe try my own circuits is to fully understand what I'm doing instead of just throwing random stuff on a breadboard to see what sticks.
Thanks in advance!
