Description
All the knowledge you need to build a noise-free and trouble-free system.
An essential book for all guitarists and bassists has been updated!

An expanded and revised edition of "System Building Manual for Guitarists and Bassists," a bestseller released in 2013, is now available!

In the world of electric guitars and basses, the term "system" refers to the entire setup of instruments, effects pedals, amplifiers, and other connected components. Systems built haphazardly are often plagued by noise and problems. Even if you connect your favorite effects pedals and build a pedalboard, it's difficult to create a noise- and trouble-free environment without the right knowledge. In this book, the author, who has worked on systems for numerous top professionals, carefully explains basic electrical knowledge and wiring techniques, teaching you how to build a system without making mistakes.

In addition, this expanded and revised edition includes sections on MIDI and line output, which have become increasingly popular among users in recent years, as well as a collection of tips for pursuing "good sound." The content has been updated to allow readers to learn about more modern systems. This book is a must-have for all guitarists and bassists who are pursuing their ideal system.
