In 1993, when I first got involved with music electronics, there really wasn't a large selection of relevant content to choose from on the Internet. Back then a list of hyperlinks on any given subject was actually capable of being canonical. That sure isn't the case anymore. Here's a list of places to go to get you started...
Analog Music Zone guitar effects design, audio projects, schematics
Analogue Heaven a mailing list for people interested in playing, collecting, modifying, and designing analog musical equipment
GEO: The Guitar Effects Oriented Web Page R.G. Keen's web site, if you visit only one other site on this topic, make it this one
+ Amplification
+ General Electronics
+ Instrument Building
- Miscellaneous
aNaLoG.MaN vintage effects and schematics for sale
Digi-Key mail order components, and an online catalog
Harmony Central portal site for musicians
Len Galasso's Home Page SPICE simulations and schematics for various audio projects
Midwest Analog Products DIY kits, parts, and projects for electronic musicians
PAiA kits for quite a few high-quality music electronics projects
Rane technical papers about audio electronics
+ Synthesizers
