I'm totally loving amp modelling and convolution reverb using PiPedal https://rerdavies.github.io/pipedal/

I wonder why they chose to use the tiny watch-size amoled board for this. Wouldn't a multi effect UX be better with one of the 4-7" touchscreen boards?

Also: Am i reading it right that you can get an ESP32 with a 7" touch screen for like $30?

This is interesting sloproject but in spite of all verbosity I still didn’t parse how do you interface with it when it’s running on intended hw rather than in browser.

what's the point about an amp emulator that you can't change the drive param?

I can't understand the NAM hype...

How is the latency? Whenever there's a FPGA driven pedal, like the Hatsune Miku one, everyone always complains about the delay it adds.

It's quite a lot of fun to make guitar like noises and adjust the various parameters...

Are there similar projects already on github? Definitely these pedals have become dirt cheap to buy online.

I would think the wasm build is a lot more interesting.

This devkit is awesome. I ported my game engine to it (which was already running on ESP32 so it was relatively easy) and actually use it as my everyday watch. Boots a 3D scene authored in Unity in about one second from power off. BMS keeps power to the RTC so it works as an useful clock, planning to add more features later.

Battery lasts for weeks with this cold boot mode too
