Hi,
I was wondering if there were any collages like MI (that just became a collage right?) for effect making. Or would I go to another school not related to music?

While there is plenty of information on the net regarding building stompboxes, unless you a bit clued up in the first place, your head will spin (IMO).
There is such a thing as too much information. The net is so jam packed with stompbox info that it becomes an information overload. Also there is a lot of opinion and incorrect info getting around. Get yourself a solid foundation first, then sift through the many thousands of threads / websites that are around.

Like said already, the Interwebz is full of DIY effects info. Get a cheap laser printer and start printing / reading / studying |
