First messy prototype is making sound! Codec module (see my other project, Yummy ADDA Cookie) seems to work nice, no dropouts. Sounds good but want to measure the noise level soon.
I'm thinking of modularising the project. Splitting it into a small FET Preamp module, an AD/DA module and an IO-Board which holds everything. I really like the small castellated holes-style PCBs like the ESP32 module. Have to check how to do that in KICAD...
This project is in a pretty early stage. I'm working on the prototype board. Lot's of design decisions are still to do. Any input or discussion is welcome.
Challenges are:
The small form factor while having huge components like all the jacks and the stomp switch
Signal to noise ratio must be high as guitars get highly amplified in later stages
