Oi!
That's called Mojo, lol!
Components drifting from their orifinal specs, and producing special sounds. In both our experiences it was not that special 😜
Hi,
I have a second hand Ultra XL module which had problems:
- almost no distortion even at full gain
- if i strummed real hard on the guitar i could hear some weird and loud distortion/clipping. This was more noticeable at low gain.
I thought that if the clipping is happening even at low gain...
That's excellent work! I've always wanted to do a DIY modular preamp, but didn't have preserverance :P
Roughly, how long did it took from the initial idea to the finished work?
Congratulations!
No housing yet, but my plan is to use 2 normal guitar footswitches with 2 switches each and connect them to the arduino with stereo female jacks.
So it would be like a converter from footswitches to MIDI.
I'm going to try to fit it inside this box of cigarillos:
You're right it's overkill.
Anyway it costs 2.5EUR, it's easy to program, easy to upload with a USB cable, easy to update and you can extend with LCD display, etc.
I also had several laying around and ready to use ;)
So i bought a used RM100 and it came without a footswitch.
I wanted to try a low cost solution and i hacked this for arduino:

Hope this helps someone.
