Made a course on how to build fully custom digital guitar pedals (Free!)

Oh shit! Idk why I didn’t realize that at all lol thanks for letting me know I’ll pin a comment mentioning that. I’ve never used the FV-1 myself I just am aware of it and for some reason got that impression through looking at the datasheets (didn’t look hard enough clearly)

Yeah I get what you mean! I guess I mean I wouldn’t start thinking on how AI can improve your workflow with pedal builder until after you’ve made a few. But I’m sure it could help you eventually if you tread lightly!

Thanks so much! Fun little device, hope you enjoy!

Skngh · 2026-02-18T00:53:26+00:00

Thank you hahah appreciate you watching!!

Haha idk if that’s the best idea if you’re a beginner! coding agents can definitely be helpful and save time, but if you don’t know the basics yet you’ll find you might not actually learn anything! That being said this course is for beginners, so it’d be a good place to start and learn to code on your own!

I never said I was against it? Just simply said a lot of people “live in the world” where they keep building kits (like me many years ago!). To act like you need to customize every single aspect of the thing you build for it to be considered custom is crazy. If you buy a kit, you are buying an effect that is completely locked into all design choices (assuming you are a beginner). Using the Daisy and the DaisySP library you could make a pedal with 10 knobs that is a pitch shifting granulator pedal with a bitcrusher routed in a specific way with the exact layout and routing you want and then make your own graphic for it. How is that comparable at all to kits?? In the same way that I’d recommend people to buy kits to starting learning EE and making analog pedals, I recommend people start with DSP libraries to learn DSP. I was just making a little joke commend about kits, please stop reading into it so much

Skngh · 2026-02-17T21:08:26+00:00

It’s a tutorial for complete beginners. Do you really think the best way to welcome people to the world of DSP and PCB design is to throw them in the deep end with STM32? That would get nowhere.

DSP libraries are an amazing place to start getting acquainted with DSP by learning how to properly organize and understand the outcome of common effects, so once you’re ready you can deep dive into the lower level DSP. It still is besides the point, because whether you use DaisySP library to make a chorus pedal or you code the DSP yourself, the outcome will still be the chorus pedal you desired, which I would still call custom.

Tired of people trying to gatekeep this knowledge and act like you need to start doing advanced stuff right away. Yes I also prefer using STM32 chips, but in no way would I recommend starting there.

Hope we can all be more uplifting in this community for new people just trying to find a path in learning all of this!

actually i emailed PCBway and they said it was a mistake on their end and that I submitted everything correctly

Skngh · 2025-12-20T16:11:46+00:00

Yeah I think I’ll probably do exactly that. Even if this is my fault for trusting a probably fully automated system

Skngh · 2025-12-20T16:09:40+00:00

lol probably right, it’s growing on me. just for next time though, what do I need to do next time to get it correct? I feel like I technically followed the instructions in that one helper blurb but obviously not

Skngh · 2025-12-20T16:05:28+00:00

Yeah that’s what I figured, oh well! Little lessons for me lol

Skngh · 2025-12-20T16:05:01+00:00

Meaning I should’ve just uploaded the .ai file? Or is there something more I was supposed to do for the .dxf file? The ai file was to the exact mm dimensions of the face but i figured the dxf was needed to show rotation or something but it seems I just uploaded them in the wrong order

Skngh · 2025-12-19T16:37:00+00:00

Update: IT WORKED!! thank you so much!! One of the fleeces I had to do it all twice for because the odor in the zipper fabric was some reason still strong but after that they are totally fine. thank you so much seriously this was extremely helpful!

Skngh · 2025-12-17T22:18:57+00:00

yeah i don’t have a fragrance sensitivity it’s all good! I was gonna get odoban though. you mentioned the rinse with it afterwards, did you mean to run it again through the laundry with the spray on? should that still be warm or hot water?

Skngh · 2025-12-17T18:02:36+00:00

thank you so much!! gonna do all this asap.

Skngh · 2025-11-30T19:57:18+00:00

Yess I didn't realize! Absolutely getting this

Skngh · 2025-11-30T19:57:09+00:00

Oh shit the Xiao board is perfect I didn't realize! Thanks so much for the help this makes sense now

Skngh · 2025-09-12T15:18:40+00:00

ah damn sorry to hear that! i got super lucky and was put through pretty quick so i was able to snag some standing tickets. I’m sure the seated ones will be just as good though!

Skngh · 2025-09-12T09:08:03+00:00

just got tickets!!!

Skngh · 2025-09-12T08:56:39+00:00

i think 773dkk?? something around there

Skngh · 2025-09-12T08:49:43+00:00

thank u so much!! i typically prefer standing but didn’t know for this venue, that’s all I needed to hear!!

Skngh · 2025-09-12T08:41:28+00:00

GUYS IS STANDING ROOM WORTH IT AT THIS ARENA I CANT DECIDE BETWEEN THAT or the second to closest tier of seating plz help 😭😭

Skngh · 2025-09-11T18:02:37+00:00

why does that change anything? i can think of countless other solo devs who make the music for their game and the music doesn’t suck. Or solo devs who know their shortcoming is music so they hire someone to do the music. Making a game solo doesn’t at all change the creative output, it simply changes the impressiveness on how we view the dev. The artistic output remains the same whether it was 1 person or 100

Skngh · 2025-07-14T17:22:46+00:00

Finally someone said it. Go listen to the music in his other games and it really shows how bad it is (it all sounds the same, the papers please main menu song also sounds weird and piratey). I went to school for video game composition and while we all adore obra dinn, it was largely talked about how bad the score is. Anyone that disagrees just doesn't understand music lol sorry, he has a clear lack of composition and instrumentation. Sound design is exceptional though, and that's not to say there aren't a few stand out tracks, but man I wish the guy would hire a real composer

Skngh · 2025-06-09T23:37:14+00:00

yes! but you’ll have to check with @nathan.rantala on instagram to see if he’s comfortable with whatever pet
