I follow that approach, even though my recordings sound much less professional than yours ;-) (If you want proof: @mfunky on FAWM). In my studio, I have an old notebook I just upgraded to Windows 10 and I use the free version of Tracktion for a couple of audio tracks (acoustic guitar, vocals, backing vocals using an TC Helicon Play Live Acoustic). No extra plugins, just the ones that come with Tracktion itself. I can recommend that for old hardware, it uses not a lot of ressources.

I see the main goal of fawm as a motivation to get songs written rather than to produce them. I more or less just record them to remember them, listen to them later and than decide which one I want to take to the next level (produce, perform live, play with a band etc.).

Thanks for the hint - this was the first time I heard about FAWM and I already wrote two songs. Great motivation, thanks again!

I recorded "geht back" (2 Chords) with my Cassette Recorder. Had top Press Pause inbetween Chords Changes.

Any chance of a board being available for this amazing project? I know it's been a while, but I am just getting into my Deep Blue clone (Aion), and this would be a sweet addition.

Yes, they are (this time in white - whooo!) : https://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=25099.msg294767#msg294767

Trying to become a better guitar player, I often draw scale patterns on fretboard templates. Depending on the context, I sometimes want to highlight note names, intervals or colours (sometimes all of these). Yesterday, I discovered this little free tool, which can do everything I ever needed:

Example? I am trying to learn hybrid scales (e.g. minor pentatonics with mixolydian) and use half-diminished scales for specific blues transitions (I->IV and V->I). Here is what I created with it: http://www.guitarscientist.com/generator/vg087QDkdNwLrG1 (Minor bug: It does not seem to remember the notation for the "6" and displays it as "bb7". You can change that in the notation tab at the bottom).

If you have other recommendations for good online tools that you really use, it would be great if you could post them here.

Super awesome, as usual, Lee. Would you mind sharing the meter schematics with us? I think this would be a nice feature for other projects as well. Even better, would you sell PCBs for this thing?

Germany.

Actually a good idea to have jacks on both sides (and still far enough away from the power supply), so you can choose depending on the stage setup.

Playing on small events or in tiny rehearsal rooms comes with a problem: People can trip over the jacks and destroy them. The problem does not occur so much on a stage, where the back side of your pedal board is usually facing the edge of the stage.
Here is a picture of my patch bay that shows the problem:


I was searching for a commercial solution, but it seems, that all patch bays/connectors for pedalboards ignore that problem.

So, here is my approach: I flipped the patch bay by 180 degrees and made a cutout on the side of the pedalboard for the multicore (4-cable-method) and the guitar cable. I will later use 3D-printed parts to fix the multicore in the slot.





I know that my board is somehow special, but maybe this setup does inspire you guys.... Any other ideas welcome.

There is no set rule for the use of buffers, unfortunately. Try and decide. Trust your ears. As I said, one buffer at the start of the signal chain worked for me. But I don't use fuzz, a lot of people do...

The direction is OK....I tried buffers in various locations in the signal chain (up to four in my rig) and eventually decided that one on the I put (post fuzz/wah) is enough for me... YMMV. I usually build the Klon buffer (OP amp based). Using a double OP amp for buffer and boost is a great approach. Your pcb will invert the signal (no big deal, just in parallel chains to be aware of). And: Every OP amp adds a bit of noise (noticeable!), so I recommend to use as much as it takes, but not more (as always in life). :-)

Have you finalized your build? If so, can you paste some pictures?

I'm not getting voltage or any noticeable clicking thru the trails loops. 

I am so happy to hear that. I had some (acceptable) clicking in high gain settings and I know, that this feature is important to you (if I remember correctly, you were the one to put that on the feature list).

Congrats for a successful build of this monster. Will you put this in the BOTY contest? If so, I would not put in mine ...

GOT IT!!!!!! AAARGH! I forget the ground connection at the mod switch. AND I didn't wire the switch anyways because stupid me thought (because I overlooked the ground connection) the switch wouldn't be necessary for the calibration routine....
It is calibrating atm. I'll get back later!


It works. That is soo cool!

Thanks a heap for your work and sharing, Marshall Arts!

I am happy. Been on a Xmas market and was wondering bout the issue. Support is getting harder years after the development...

my RGB led has a different pin out, left to right GR-B is yours and BG-R is mine
so I changed this to fix it
float colorarray[] = {0, LOW, 255, 255, LOW, 0, 0, HIGH, LOW, 0, HIGH, 200};

Did you find a way to fix this, or is this still open?
