3in1 DIY Dirt

Brewing up ideas of two 3in1 effect pedal boxes. I made a prototype version, but the enclosure is limited and shorts from time to time. I bought some proper enclosures for better execution. The idea is that every board has a 2-3 stage dirt, yet there are some many variations. The 3in1 will be wired to easily interchange and switch out the pcb's and down the line can be mixed and matched at one's hearts desire. The first stage is an always on low gain, and when stomped it will go to a tuner.

Dirt : Low Gain => High Gain=> Fuzz

1) MP Sweet Honey=> MIA CrunchBox=>BJFE Candy Apple Fuzz Gold

1) BJFE Sweet Honey=> BearFoot Dyna Red Distortion=>BJFE Pink Purple Fuzz

2) Hermida ZenDrive=>Cochrane Timmy=>

3) Xotic RC => Xotic AC => Xotic BB

Reading Music

After some googling, I will try to get a hold of a few books for reading music.

1. Howard Roberts Sight Reading Manual For Guitar, which was the text at MI for many years.
2. Sight To Sound by Leon White. 
3. M.I.'s Music Reading for the Guitar
4. William Leavitt Modern Method for guitar Vol I, II, III and  Melodic Rhythms
5. Real Book

Snippet from Harmony Central.

In my opinion it takes a good book, and some other things to supplement it.

Unfortunately the most effective book I've ever known is now orphaned, and out of print. That would be Howard Roberts Sight Reading Manual For Guitar, which was the text at MI for many years.

Now I would suggest Sight To Sound by Leon White. Couple this with Leavitt's Melodic Rhythms, and you'll have most of what you need.

Next get a spiral bound notebook of staff paper. Every time you encounter a difficult rhythm, write it down. And write down what ever applicable subdivisions
apply. Meaning that a 1/4 note rhythm should be written as 1/2 notes as well (if possible) and 8th and 16ths as well. Practice these rhythms each night slowly with a metronome BEFORE working through the books. After going through the books, be sure to read through the Real Book or some other music. Also, you should read unfamiliar music everyday.
