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
Analog Devices datasheets, application notes, and whitepapers on AD's semiconductors
Clairex makers of the infamous CLM6000
Intersil Intersil, formerly Harris Semiconductor
Texas Instruments datasheets, applications notes, etc. for both TI components and those formerly made by Burr-Brown
+ Instrument Building
+ Miscellaneous
+ Synthesizers
Thanks
