Re: building electron gadgets

[Dave Stagner <dstagner@icarus.net>]

Craig Anderton's "Electronic Projects for Musicians" and other books
are a great place to start with effects building.  You can get his
books, and numerous excellent kits by Anderton and others, from PAiA
Electronics.  They have a very nice online catalog at www.paia.com.
Starting with kits will teach you enough to build stuff of your own
design later.

By "beauty," I mean that which seems complete.
Obversely, that the incomplete, or the mutilated, is the ugly. 
Venus De Milo.
To a child she is ugly.
