Guitar Effect Pedals

Overdrive (Preamp)


  • Victory Kraken V1 replica
  • A true “Amp in a pedal”. While it has a size of a pedal, this device has all of the crushing high gain tone of the Victory VX Kraken guitar amplifier.
  • The versatile 3-band EQ with the gain knob provide all the controls to dial in some mid to heavy British and American style amp sounds.
  • This pedal has a lot of gain allowing to turn any guitar amplifier into a Victory Kraken amplifier with its character sound.
  • 2 gain stages featuring TL072
  • 100% Analog

Phaser/Vibrato


  • EarthQuaker Devices “Grand Orbiter” replica
  • 4 stage OTA-based phaser
  • This device provides a wide range of modulations, from leisurely slow rates to incredibly fast and swirly, from extremely resonant ones to completely stationary. This can be controlled with a 3-way toggle switch.
  • Two pedals in one. A 2-way toggle switch can shut the dry signal off which removes the “phase change” effect, making it a true pitch vibrato.
  • 100% Analog

Tremolo


  • EarthQuaker Devices “Hummingbird” replica
  • Transistor-based tremolo featuring 2N6027
  • Choppy sawtooth tremolo effect. Modeled to imitate vintage “repeat percussion” unit similar to those found in old Valco and Vox amplifiers>
  • Extremely versatile. Featuring 3 different rate modes that can be chosen with a 3-way toggle switch this pedal can make a tremolo effect in any size and tempo, from extremely slow and soft all the way to inhumanly fast helicopter-like sounds.
  • Whether you want to create a dreamy vintage vibe or an almost percussion-like choppy sounds, this device nails it all.
  • 100% Analog

MIDI Controller

The GrimReach


  • 16-knob USB MIDI controller
  • 4 switchable CC banks on touch sensors
  • 64 different controls
  • USB Type B connectivity. This device is recognizable as a MIDI device. It can be mapped to control anything in a DAW (Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Cubase, etc.) or a plugin (VST, synth, guitar amp, FX)
  • 3D printed enclosure
  • Features an Arduino MEGA microcontroller. Because of that, this device can transmit both power and data through a single USB connection.
  • The code for this device is written in C++ and flashed into the microcontroller’s ATMEGA32 chip through the Arduino IDE.

Digital Syntheziser

  • A digital monophonic synth primarily intended for bass
  • Currently has a complete, working envelope, with attack and decay knobs
  • The device has 5 different waveforms: sine, square, triangle, positive and negative ramp sawtooth. They can be switched with a knob. The pitch can also be set using a different knob
  • The device has an analog MIDI Input circuit, which provides a possibility to connect a MIDI keyboard to it. The notes on the keyboard will trigger the synth with the exact pitch as the key on the keyboard
  • Later, the synth will also have a second oscillator, a complete filter section with cutoff and resonance, a built-in distortion effect with several modes, and a step sequencer

Digital Effects Processor

  • Guitar Multi-FX Pedal
  • An ongoing project. Currently has 4 different effects: distortion, chorus, phaser and tremolo.
  • Later it will also have a pitch shifter, octaver, vibrato, delay and reverb. The device will have a reduced number of knobs, so that the same knobs can be assigned to control different effects, and it will also have a screen.
  • This device can be used both with an electric guitar and a synthesizer.
  • Features the Daisy Seed microcontroller by ElectroSmith

What’s so special about Daisy Seed?


  • The Daisy Seed is not just a regular microcontroller. It has all the capabilities as other microcontrollers, but it also has an embedded audio. This opens up countless new possibilities of creating digital audio devices. Not only it simplifies the whole process of making audio devices (compared to making it with other microcontrollers), but also gives an opportunity to create much more advanced and sophisticated ones.
