Electrosmash Arduino Guitar Pedal & Custom Enclosure

The Electrosmash Pedalshield Uno is an Programmable guitar effects pedal for Arduino. Normally we wouldn't feel good making a video out of a kit build, so we made a custom enclosure for it as well.

[@shantahsieh4833]

I made it myself. Just take a fast look for woodprix.

[@masonoutward9490]

Awesome!

[@sonicase]

so let's not go over what the electronics do or have a full demo of the sounds

[@Nicoyutub]

I love that they don't feel the need to explain that but they explain this 4:12

[@jeffbeck6501]

1.5 million subs = controlled media. that's why they explain nothing. you are their slave. me too.

[@RN-jq1oh]

since they don't do anything interesting these days...and as Jeff Beck calls us slaves which he is right...I am unsubbing

[@timgehrsitz3267]

How to build the pedal: 1. Build.a case 2. Put the electronics in "It'll help you get your head around programming"

[@nyetloki]

Well the it's the assembly part of the project, the rest is on their site...

[@craftedworkshop]

Turned out awesome, Tyler. I'd love to hear more demos of it being played. As a guitarist who wants to learn about Arduino, this really interests me.

[@carlstawicki1915]

Thumbs down for excluding a proper demo of what the pedal does.

[@ukulelefatman]

A scroll saw and drill would save lots of time, no programming required. You could stack and saw all your wooden pieces at once, glue, then drill your holes. I would drill additional countersunk holes on the corners of the face plate, to screw it to the enclosure. Would look good in brass.

It would be nice if you spent time on the front end with the electronics and less time on the extraneous stuff, like the CNC'd enclosure that few people can actually pull off. It's a neat addition, but at the end of the day it's just a housing for the important stuff. You spent 2/3rd's of your time showing off a fancy box, and less than 40 seconds actually explaining the electronics. I was kind of hoping to hear some of the effects capabilities (analog stompboxes are something I do), alas, just a single chord strummed out when you were done. ....in comparison, this was like watching you manufacture a really expensive car with a high performance engine, and at the end, you tooted the horn.

[@JogLab]

What an amazing backing track!

[@tharii314]

EXACTLY..

[@MakeSomething]

This is awesome! Totally love this project!

[@MAKE]

Aww, thanks David!

[@yuvalbug6236]

great editing! both informative and visually engaging. makes me wanna do some work!

[@TechmentationLab]

Great design of electrosmash. And finely engineered with CNC's and electronics. Good product of arduino. Good job.

[@ehinders2000]

I can forgive you for that fidget spinner bottle opener now ;)

[@davestrain1762]

Cool Build Tyler... sweet CNC work and clean solders!

[@jenniferschneider1112]

This is so impressive!

[@DannySebahar]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest you show us how the pedal sounds in the video befoe you show us the build. I mean, that video was fun to watch but provided me with no motivation to "make" anything. For all I know the electrosmash sounds like GrandmaPiss. I know it doesn't ;), wait, no I don't, you didn't let us know how it sounds!

[@jotamedia]

The tone wood makes it sound so much better than a aluminum box...

[@beakittelscherz5419]

All this cnc'ing takes the fun out of these videos.

[@wobius]

great project!

[@UpcycleElectronics]

CNC's are so cool.... being poor sux... one day.

[@seprim90]

What type/brandd of CNC is this?

[@kentl7228]

I thought some dowel holes in the sections that aren't the top of bottom layer, with partial depth holes in the top snd bottom layers, would make sssembly and gluing easier...

[@wgarciasvideo]

Hi, I really appreciate this class of videos and projects, Congratulations, and thanks for inspiring musicians everywhere, I have a question, I´d like to use my Uno shield pedal Live, and I´m no sure if I can store all the efects in my pedal or I need to upload them one by one with my computer ? thanks 4 ur time, Cool enclosure!

[@ArthurStone]

Thanks! Really interesting and useful. Lovely product design with the wood and metal :D

[@ishalhuds4902]

great! I love it!

[@monode953]

You used a CNC machine to cut a plate with three holes in it? I could have done that by hand in the time it took you to make the scetch, never mind the waste!

[@udomatthiasdrums5322]

cool stuff!!

[@Bylga]

Quality build =D

[@CampingTrev]

Is it possible to operate without usb connection?

[@singechamberlain2967]

Amazing! How was the graphics template made? Anyone know?

[@hbirtt]

Sounds like a lot of noise in the signal. Part of me wants to build one just to play with getting rid of the noise. The other part of me is looking at a table full of unfinished projects.

[@thermmaloverload]

Good job, I thought you were going to etch the label instead of painting.

[@yoyoexpertman54]

if i had that mesa boogie i wouldnt have it just sit there..........was wishing for a demo

[@AlfJrgenDovland]

hey! what type of CNC machine is this?

[@hnatyshyn]

Nice work. But I can't believe that with all those nasty tools you have you manage to screw the footswitch with pliers, risking to ruin your finish. And of course, I watched all the video hopping you show what the pedal actually do... the program. Please make a part II.

[@el1061]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! THX A MILL I ON!

[@luisgerena6649]

All this cnc'ing takes the fun out of these videos. You miss the handmade look and feel of a well made diy. Something this simple could've been easily done with a scroll saw or a router and the watchability of this video would've been ten times better.

[@tharii314]

Anyone, Please find me the name of this background music! PLEASE...

[@nyetloki]

Look at the comments, they replied to shadow something with a link to the track

[@shadows2daeva]

does anyone knows what the song its played during the build its called?

[@MAKE]

It's from the royalty-free site audiojungle.net. It is called, rather unimaginably, "Trip-Hop" audiojungle.net/item/triphop/19670247?s_rank=17

[@heberreis]

Can i make a overdrive Bass pedal witch similar project or with raspiberry ? I haver used this plugin ir other similar . www.tseaudio.com/software/tseBOD Thanks

[@fareedhamzasurchy2940]

u have all instrument .thats graeat

[@dimiutube]

Step 1: Buy machines for about 20000$ :-D Ok, maybe I'll try it with the tools I have. Definatelly a cool project! Thanks for showing!

[@aidanb.9043]

Do you really need to use a CNC router to drill a few fucking holes in an aluminum plate? Kinda overkill tbh

[@StupidRobotFightingLeague]

smash!

[@niceguypants]

Cutting aluminium with a grinder....?

[@nyetloki]

Aluminum cutting disk

[@rossboylan18]

So... this guy just built a wood box. Cool.

[@LoseJuis]

NPI

[@tamaratamrot2681]

I bought Woodglut once and now I have lifetime access to thousands of woodworking projects.

[@arturkarlov3000]

two hands on the grinder, dude, you are a role model, you should know better.

[@TedSchoenling]

Kinda lame.. lots of wood working.. zero on what this thing actually does

[@erikmattson8629]

Brilliant. It's the new "WatchMeMAKE" channel lol

[@twoys440]

i see gap

[@austinduff8833]

Eew red rose tea is gross

[@sergiomeluk]

By using this technique you're losing a lot of wood.

[@spikebaltar5071]

If you work in the industry. You will be used to these type of stuff.

[@strangersun7721]

Step One: Own an expensive CNC router.

[@sheepkillindog]

Waste of time
