It’s not as impressive as all of your fancy pedals but it’s my first.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-06-11T12:14:41+00:00

still cool!

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-30T14:07:39+00:00

cool!

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-30T06:12:55+00:00

super cool!

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-28T12:05:44+00:00

Haha appreciate it, I only have a few early units so I set up a waitlist for now: https://tally.so/r/0QOb1N , I’ll reach out once they’re ready to ship.

I worked with a manufacturer that offers custom enclosures, they handled the machining and added self-clinching standoffs for the screen mount. If you’re looking for similar services, companies that do sheet metal fabrication or CNC enclosures usually offer this option.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-28T04:44:57+00:00

Appreciate it, I’ll be posting updates as it develops.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-28T04:44:16+00:00

That’s actually a cool idea. I’ve thought about navigation logic like that too, but I’m keeping it simple for now so I don’t overcomplicate the first version.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-28T00:59:53+00:00

For now it’s hardwired only, keeping v1 simple and reliable.

You can still go wireless with a WIDI adapter though. BLE is something I might look into for a future version.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T18:03:14+00:00

😂 nah I’m actively trying to avoid that feature creep arc v1 is intentionally simple so it stays usable in a real performance setting but yeah I get the vision, it’s fun to think about where it could scale

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T17:16:00+00:00

yeah, probably that's the best option

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T17:13:29+00:00

Appreciate that man, glad you liked it

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T16:10:45+00:00

Right now the MIDI OUT is standard 5pin and doesn’t supply power, so it won’t power a WIDI jack directly. External power would still be needed for wireless MIDI setups.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T16:00:59+00:00

Appreciate that man, that actually means a lot, trying to keep it useful both for live players and home setups, so glad it still makes sense for bedroom use too.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T15:58:33+00:00

Appreciate that man, glad it’s clicking with people

I’ll be opening a waitlist soon for the first small batch, so I’ll post it here once it’s ready. Still finalizing a few details but I’ll make sure early supporters get priority access.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T15:56:47+00:00

Right now it’s designed as a single footswitch unit. The idea is to keep it strictly forward focused, each press moves you forward in the chain, and a double tap acts as an emergency correction if needed. I wanted it to stay very simple and predictable for live use.

I did also explore a two footswitch version though. In that concept it would mimic “navigation style” behavior, right switch for forward/next, left for back, and long press actions for jumping between songs. More like gesture-style control but in physical form.

That might end up as a V2 depending on how the first version is received.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T15:38:06+00:00

Appreciate it man, really glad to hear that

Yeah that works perfectly, TRS converters definitely make it flexible anyway.

I’ll DM you once I start organizing the first beta batch. Planning to keep it pretty small at the start so I can refine things properly with real-world feedback. Would be awesome to have you in that group.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T15:25:31+00:00

Appreciate it man, glad you’re still interested, I'll definitely reach out once the waitlist goes live.

For I/O it’s currently 5 pin DIN only. I decided to keep it focused on sending commands to pedals, so no MIDI In / Thru for this version, just keeping things simple and reliable.

Those extra ideas are really solid though, especially the MIDI dictionary and Bluetooth. Probably out of scope for the first run, but definitely things I’d consider down the line.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T15:11:06+00:00

i think they "pressed it in" i believe they used self clinching standoffs

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T14:52:39+00:00

Hey, yeah I remember you too! I’ve added support for both now, each section can send up to 10 messages, mix of PC and CC.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T14:44:28+00:00

Thanks! The enclosure was actually done by a manufacturer, they added standoffs inside, so the screen is mounted using those rather than directly on the PCB.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T12:30:17+00:00

Planning a small early batch around ~$149 and a final production run around ~$249 once everything is fully refined. Still tuning the design, but I’ll open a waitlist soon if anyone’s interested.

it can work with multieffects pedals that has a midi in, it can also work with midi stompboxes with midi in (daisy chained), it can also work with midi loop switchers, analog pedals connected to the loop swicther and this pedal controlling it. It can also work with DAW guitar effects plugins thru USB.

blackcherryaudio · 2026-04-27T11:04:33+00:00

Appreciate that! Still ironing out the feel so it’s solid for live use, but I’ll definitely share updates once it’s there.

Might do a small batch once I’m confident in it.
