pedalSHIELD MEGA Arduino Guitar Pedal

[@IbnBattuta-ej8fs]

Is there a way to obtain the PCB Gerber file? Because it's not available anymore and the file posted on the forum is for the Pedal Pi not the Mega. Thank you for your help.

[@supercybercow5388]

Will add this to my DIY guitar amp as cheap modelling solution

[@excessif1006]

Hi, where i can find the PCB for this project or even probably download one for KiCad or other program where it was made? Didn't saw anything similar on your web page. Will be glad to hear your answer.

[@tomislavsekerija1957TN]

Next level anytime soon? For example having that pot on the side a bit bigger and fixed a bit better so you can roll it by foot during playing?

[@ScottEvans-vk7hse]

I must say that this looks like a great pedal, I bought the Due version last year and I've still not had much of a chance to experiment with it other than with the examples... The OLED is a nice feature!

[@lenoillionel2342]

very nice.... an extra thumbs p for the sleeping cat on the lcd...XD

;)

[@SoundCityEstudioPedais]

Hi! Just loved the pedal! Do you guys still have some in stock?

[@tomislavsekerija1957TN]

You still work? Your website have some issue with security (cert).

[@hd038]

Is possible make audio interface like focusrite scarlett 2x2 with arduino mega?

[@dermetzger]

Interesting concept, wish the distortion sounded a little better...

[@Electrosmash]

Thanks! :) We try to use it as a platform to learn how to develop your own effects, classic tones like Tube Screamer, Rat, DS-1, Klon, etc are very difficult to emulate :) the pedalshield Fuzz and Bit-Crusher are a bit more on the savage side.

[@tomislavsekerija1957TN]

Use analog dirt sounds, this kind of stuff is for glitchy side of life. B-)

[@nedstar7378]

Today I build this project, first I designed a new pcb and started to add the components then I still missing a few capacitors which I received today and could test today. I must say that it preduces a lot of background noise. Some of the example codes was bad but some are very good however the heavy background noise is disturbing. Tomorrow I will starting to make an investigation how to solve the problem.

[@ro33k1]

Hi, did you solved the problem with the noise? I'm working on this project these day but I'm stuck at the programming. The website and forum are not working any more, well the website is having some missing pages and the forum is locked. Maybe I can get a little help here? Thanks

[@williamluong7743]

yoou got files

[@MarcyAvila]

Awesome concept♡

[@eyeball226]

The addition of the screen is really cool, but the lack of pots is strange. Either some pots, or some extra buttons would have been helpful.

[@electrosmashteam7791]

Arduino MEGA cannot process audio and read analog pots at the same time... that's why we use an LED, 2 push-buttons and a toggle switch to interact with the effects.

[@eyeball226]

@@electrosmashteam7791 Ah I see, my mistake. I'm not too familiar with the Arduino MEGA, from the name I assumed it would have even more options than the Due.

[@CTSmerv]

why not use rotary encoders? that could be a digital solution, plus many ecoders have a push switch built in.

[@eudeciogabriel8571]

better than any real pedal

[@alvaroferrerclaver650]

I just bought your pedal model and I'm interested in doing the loop function. Is there any way to get more memory? thank you

[@Electrosmash]

Hi, the only idea is to use an external memory chip, something like the 23K256 chip, that can add 32K of SRAM. The plan would be to read the signal, store it into the external chip and read it later. Im not 100% sure about the R/W speed but it could fly... more info here: playground.arduino.cc/Main/SpiRAM/

[@brayhancastro7248]

Hi, I want to buy a kit, is it still available?

[@dazzid]

Why the sound is so digitally creepy? It is due to Arduino capacity?

[@Electrosmash]

Hi David, it is a lo-fi guitar pedal although the sound quality is not "bad". Arduino was never designed to be an audio device but with some hacks, you can get a decent tone out of it.

[@dazzid]

Very nice project in deed, I love it. At the end the adc is 10 bits isn't? I think I will buy one

[@dazzid]

ok! I just checked the web, all the details are there. Cool!

[@JamesDMorris2008]

perhaps overclock? just wonder

[@golfnitram40]

where i can buy?

[@GugaLinharesUS]

Can i do this project with MSP430?

[@Electrosmash]

Hi, the pedalsHIELD project only works with the Arduino boards, you could probably try to make it work over an MSP430 but you would need to develop all the software from scratch.

[@ferrumignis]

The MSP430 has the advantage of a 12 bit ADC, giving some improvement in sound quality (dynamic range). Porting the Arduino code should be fairly simple, assuming you have a C compiler, but you will need to rewrite the peripheral libraries.

[@devospanko]

Is there programming/memory for a loop record/playback function?

[@Electrosmash]

Hi Devan, the Arduino MEGA RAM memory is limited to 8KB, so doing a loop-record effect is not possible. You can do short delays or reverbs but record during seconds is not feasible.

[@videowatchaccount7551]

The distortion on that thing sounds like shite.
