Description
This exclusive “Stompbox brick” box set may be heavy, but the pedals and players you’ll find inside of it are even heavier—so please remember to lift with your legs!
Not only do these two volumes contain fresh interviews with nearly 150 noted musicians, collectors and pedal designers, but some of the stompboxes pictured within are so rare and obscure that even diehard experts had trouble identifying them. If your heart isn’t pounding with severe GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) after just a few pages, you may not actually be alive!
Included in The Brick:
- A hardcover 3 mm thick slipcase with a logo cutout.
- Foil Stamping on spine.
- Stompbox City. An 18×24 In poster with original collage artwork by Morgan Jesse Lappin.
A visual treat for obsessive collectors, guitar players, and music fans, Stompbox reveals the essential but lesser-known marvels behind some of rock ‘n’ roll’s signature sounds.
Stompbox:
Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World’s Greatest Guitarists, is a photographic showcase of the actual effects pedals owned and used by Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa, Alex Lifeson, Andy Summers, Eric Johnson, Adrian Belew, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Ed O’Brien, J Mascis, Lita Ford, Joe Perry, Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo, Vernon Reid, Kaki King, Nels Cline and 82 other iconic and celebrated guitarists.
These exquisitely textured fine-art photographs are matched with fresh, insightful commentary and colorful road stories from the artists themselves, who describe how these fascinating and often devilish devices shaped their sounds and songs.
Vintage & Rarities
Photographer Eilon Paz and writer/editor Dan Epstein—the team behind Stompbox: 100 Pedals of the World’s Greatest Guitarists— have scoured the globe in search of some of the rarest, weirdest and most iconic stompboxes in existence. Vintage & Rarities: 333 Cool, Crazy and Hard to Find Guitar Pedals features lustrous, exquisitely-detailed photographs of primitive fuzzboxes, one-off prototypes, whimsical boutique creations and elaborate multi-effects units—many of which have never been seen before, even by hardcore collectors.
Vintage & Rarities also features profiles of 25 pedal collectors from around the world— including legendary musicians Adrian Belew, Henry Kaiser and David Torn, Beastie Boys producer Mario Caldato Jr., and celebrated pedal builders Oliver Ackermann (Death By Audio), Mike Piera (Analog Man) and Josh Scott (JHS)—all of whom share their personal tales of stompbox addiction, while offering additional insight into these fascinating devices.
