Since I am not a real drummer, I bought them all (over time as they came out of course).

I think they are all great.

I know, this isn't helping.

Fantastic!

Weird names get stuck in my head. I feel a little weird when it happens. Like I should reboot the old noggin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I saw the schematic for the jazz chorus. Omg. Beyond my DIY skills.

Yes. SolidGoldFX's Funkzilla has that.

I got a lovetone meatball, I'm talking 2 knobs and a reverse switch.

I saw Tuck&Patti live in a small venue in Vancouver BC in '93/94. I was already a fan and they blew me away. Their records don't do them justice, and I love them.

Is this pedal meant to have a fuzziness feel to it? I made it for a guy and he said it sounded like a bad fuzz.
Here is a clip

Sounds like a normal fuzz to me.

Are the screws on top just for the looks? Did you tap the enclose for them or just glue them in?

Nice looking builds.

Long video or not, I would pay to watch the whole thing. Thar be gems in there fo' sho'.

Great write up. TY

Looking at how well you do your innards, I would give a lot to watch a video of you putting something like this together.

Beautiful work.

i've got an arduino but haven't touched it for ages, successfully made it scroll text across a 2 line screen at one point.  had some ideas to make a MIDI sequencer but never got into it. 

definitely interested in PIC programming but damn it feels like deep water to jump into without a programming or hardware design background.

on a semi-related note there are a few very interesting diy DSP platforms like axoloti and bela.

FWIW, I spent a few years with PICs and grew tired of the way their memory is set up in pages (which may no longer be the case). I switched to AVRs and found those much easier to code for.  This was all pre-Arduino and done in assembler, again FWIW. 

If I was to start from scratch today, I'd probably start with an ARM Cortex processor (what the Teensy boards use), or as you said a DSP platform.   

The bank switching is really only on 8 bit (and to a much lesser degree the 16 bit) M/CPUs. PICs also have a DSP family of chips, but as I've spent a lot of time on ARM, Cortex-M7 would be my first choice, maybe including the SHARC or Keystone stuff.

Problem is, you'll need ADC/DAC.

The Teensy has both of those.  The newer models can run up to 240mhz, so it's possible to at least experiment with them as-is.

The teensy 3.6 is crazy impressive. An ARM Cortex m4? Crazy!
That being said the ADC's are 13 bit and the DAC are 12 bit resolution. Fun to play with but not really suitable for audio processing. IMHO of course.

If you want Arduino with more DSP
-like potential, you could look into the Teensy:
