It's easy to learn - check out aidanchopra.com - the dude is a legend and you'll learn most of the basics in under half and hour from his YouTube videos.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Liverpool, England | | I started a while ago trying to make a some properly scaled (1 pixel = 1 millimetre) images of pedals as an alternative to using guitargeek stuff here. Uni work kind of got in the way, but if theres enough interest I could start putting a few together again..
Heres a few examples:   
Let me know what you think  |

Its finding the correct sizes for the pedals which is a bit of a pain... |

Heres a few examples:
Let me know what you think | Yo, they look sweet! Especially the Micro Pog!
I also made some like that, but the images are actually the size of the pedals in real life!
If anyone wants to see the ones I did they are Here.
Edit: just realised Photobucket have scaled down some of the images. They're accurate scale-wise, but some aren't the right size they are meant to be.

GuitarGeek: Only if you like breaking copyright laws. http://guitargeek.com/about.php#Q10 | All a copyright does is give the creator the right to exclude others from reproducing or distributing their original creation. It does not automatically forbid people from doing so. Copyrights are not self-enforcing; i.e. the copyright holder has to actually enforce the copyright for it to have any effect. Thus, unless GuitarGeek actually sends someone here a C&D or posts one on these forums, the copyright has no actual effect. On top of that, according to our fearless moderators, GuitarGeek have indicated they are OK with the use of the images on TB as long as its attributed to GuitarGeek.
Quoting from the FAQ of this forum:
Can I use images from http://www.guitargeek.com?
These images are the copyright of the designer. However, Adam has indicated that as long as credit is given when using his original work images, he is ok with their usage here.
Any pedalboard/signal chain layout you make with these images must state the credit in the graphic, and you cannot label the resulting image 'An XYZ production' or similar. |

However, if you make a pedalboard diagram using the images you cannot then label the resulting image 'An XYZ production' or whatever.
| So I think you're OK to use them here as long as proper credit is given... Quote:
