Project Summary:

pedalSHIELD UNO, an open-source Arduino UNO programmable guitar pedal.
The idea is to build a guitar pedal with easy-to-find parts and have fun creating your own sounds from the first day without deep knowledge in DSP programming or electronics.

Full Project:

People can share their sounds or ideas in the forum or they can download the already coded effects (booster, distortion, fuzz, delay, vibrato, tremolo, wave-generator, metronome, etc).
It is a cheap platform to start developing your interest in effects, audio electronics, guitar pedals or digital signal processing.
The whole project is Open-Source and Open-Hardware, all the schematics and files are free. The design was also created using KiCAD, an open source ECAD for Win-Linux-Mac so everybody can contribute.
