Has anyone seen this:



Looks interesting (although quite pricey - the UK seller I found wanted £80 )

Includes an inteview with Ikegami Yoshihiro from Boss:

There’s been a few posts on Instagram about it and it looks like a very interesting book but I cannot find anywhere in the U.K. to buy it

I certainly agree that it looks pricey!

Looks great! Do I spend too much time with pedals? Because I knew all the pedals on the front page before ...

Gera4Music have got it: LINK

But it's £79 + postage.

There's a UK seller on Reverb asking £53 + £8 postage: LINK

Seems to work out as £60 inc postage if you order directly from the publisher. They appear to be based in Denmark so there shouldn't be any import taxes (if you're quick....)

Thanks for your help. At these prices, I think I’ll wait to see what comes up on the second hand market !

Yes it looks like a good book, but not any better than the ones which came before. You will have a update on the latest pedals, and yes it does cost a fair bit.

The book tries to do it all, but for some of you that may be good.

Pepe you work in a music shop? Your remark of knowing all the ones on the front cover. I do not know any of them, probably do not try enough new pedals......................... I am still discovering new sounds from the ones I have used for years!

I don't work in the music shop anymore, because it was closed in summer 2018. My bosses had to retire due to health reasons.

And I know the pedals from the looks and the demos only. But none of them were new to me.

Okay I see, you check out stuff to keep on top of things. Good!

Pity about the shop, so many close down and all what is left is the large chain, and they simply do not have the feel and expertise of the smaller shops.
