Comment on Diodes Hate It – Clipping with DSPs

Comments

OP here! I'm admittedly new to the world of digital signal processing and don't have a math background. But what I _do_ have is a background in programming and guitar effect pedal building.

My hope with this site and series is to get people like me exposed to the possibilities a little bit of code and a Teensy can unlock for them. The lower the barrier of entry, the more cool things people can create. :)

That being said, I'd love to get feedback on good sources to learn more about signal processing/theory or any resources folks would suggest for covering the topic even better!

I’ve recently started to work through implementing DSP as VST plugins. But I never really thought that a pedal type DSP unit was tractable as a hobbyist. I’m pretty excited to follow your work and see if I can do some pedal style effect or basic synth work in hardware.

Thanks for the post! Right before I saw this on HN I was watching a video on how to build a Klon clone, so this write-up couldn't have come at a better time.

If you haven't taken the leap, go for it! That's actually how I started getting into effect pedals and now I'm hooked.
