  1. So yesterday I decided to see how a capture sounds, to see if it would be viable to just use the for say fly dates.

    I captured my main rhythm sound on the IRX a couple of times, adjusting the signal gain going into the NC, until the results were free of artifacts. Each capture sounded subtly different—not sure why—but in the end it is insanely good. (1/6)

  3. Getting back to pedal-building after a LONG break. Listed this beauty for sale a couple of days ago.

    It's been long enough that I have no idea if it'll sell, or how quickly. Back when I was selling a fair number, many were going to the EU and/or the US. This is listed only in the UK, because Brexit and Trump, respectively. Which I'm both sad and mad about.

  5. I've been into metal a lot lately.

    From left to right:
    - Power/10 series LM7 L.A. Metal. A Rat based distortion.
    - Power/10 series MS10 Metal Charger. A unique design that only sounds nice with distortion and level completely maxed out.
    - Master/L series MSL Metal Screamer. A Tube Screamer with one different component from a regular TS. The result is that this unit has more low end.

  6. Success! Swapped in the Nano Cortex in place of my BOSS Waza Dimension, and my first impressions of the device, based on the presets, are that the amp models sound as digital and garbage as models always have. Most notably in the high frequencies, and especially at the edges of the dynamic range, when you roll the volume of the guitar down— it gets real crumbly at the bottom there. (1/4)

  10. 🎂 The #PédaleVite project is 10 years old today. Time passed so quickly!

    At this date I ordered a first batch of electronic components to do some preliminary tests.
    I remember that very early design ideas were based on a Raspberry Pi 2, then I realized the Pi 3 was released just one month ago and picked it up for the project.
    This was the core of Pédale Vite v1, which is still working and maintained.

  14. Turned out to be exactly what I wanted! Great sounding wah, clean or into gain, easy push to activate, nice bright LEDs. Can customize to tone down the resonant spike, and switch wah to a warmer freq range. Great taper in both wah and volume modes. Nice grippy surface, super solid build, lightweight. And does midi expression! Sleeper MVP pedal...

  16. This is it! 2026 board. Don't see myself swapping anything out. Analog signal never gets converted again post-wireless. Can be played ad-hoc, or with extremely specific programming. Don't know of any pedals that have the same combo of attributes—inspiring sounds, ease of use, audio fidelity, midi flexibility, genre flexibility.

    Lezzzzgoooooooo

  18. I just added a standard noise gate to my #PédaleVite #GuitarEffects. I already use a multi-band noise gate (called Noise Bleach) at input of the effect chain to selectively remove most of the noise without cutting the sound too early on long fading notes. But with a high gain distortion, this leaves some unwanted dirt after a chug.

    So I added a second, more standard noise gate after a distortion, with the input as sidechain for volume analysis. Works well!

    In the examples below (60 dB of distortion gain), I use a single coil pickup to collect some glorious digital noise from the computer and a bit of hum from a transformer nearby.

  19. Hey , anyone know of a device/box for the pedalboard that will listen to ambient stage noise and convert it to tap tempo output? Free The Tone's Flight Time delay could do this...

  21. So there are a lot of products to prevent pedal knobs from being moved during transit. Many of them are $10-15 *per knob*.

    BUT these here $0.69 neoprene washers from Ace Hardware are just as good!

  23. New quest: build a powerful mini-ITX or similar tiny form factor PC to use with #MODaudio

    I need a good class compliant USB audio interface to pair. Then, I'll have a portable system to do anything with!

    The SW that runs on the #MODdwarf can run on any machine. I've been waiting years for these to be back in stock. Now, after spending a small fortune on other digital equipment, I'm debating selling it all.

  24. Another #GuitarPedal completed.

    A few years ago I designed a pedal with a complex effect (but just a single knob and an expression pedal as controls) for a guy but in the end that wasn’t what he was looking for and he didn’t pick it up. So I had this pedal stuck with me. 😑

    Recently a friend asked me for a long delay effect with a 15 second memory and the footswitch only muting the delay input (FX always on duty). It was an opportunity to #recycle the old pedal, based on a #DaisySeed board. So I drilled new holes in the enclosure to host 3 knobs.

    But wait, there’s more. ➡️

  28. Today's project: adding and programming the Mercury X as my main/only effects unit. Hands-down the most inspiring digital pedal I've ever played with.

  33. Wrap up: I feel comfortable to move forward and tackle anything I need with now, but it took 15-20hrs of a learning curve. But it's exciting to know that I'll be able to so some mind-bending stuff on the fly live, without a bunch of external aux switches etc, as well as customize the rig for any genre or celebrity that we may end up working with! 👀 (9/9)

  35. It also means I can add the preamp of my IRX as an insert effect, as well as my analog compressor pedal, and create presets that incorporate them or don't.

    It also means that I can create presets that bypass the Friedman completely and get the "guitar right into the board" sound…

    THE FUZZTONES live a POGGIBONSI (Si)
    THE FUZZTONES live: Sul palco i Fuzztones, gruppo storico garage rock statunitense, il cui nome è stato ispirato dall'effetto di distorsione fuzz tone appunto, inventato nel 1962 e che sentiamo sempre in Satisfaction dei Rolling Stones.
