    I'm totally loving amp modelling and convolution reverb using PiPedal https://rerdavies.github.io/pipedal/

    This is interesting sloproject but in spite of all verbosity I still didn’t parse how do you interface with it when it’s running on intended hw rather than in browser.

    what's the point about an amp emulator that you can't change the drive param?

    I can't understand the NAM hype...

      Might have misunderstood (not really a guitar guru), but long tapping/clicking on the drive block allows you to adjust drive, tone and level values.

      How often do you fiddle with the drive parameter (if it's not just boosting the input directly, which works fine with NAM too) mid song? Pretty much never, right? So a lot of folks don't need that control and if the drive level isn't great and that parameter isn't just boosting the input, use a different capture .

      It’s the same with profiling generally. You get pregain, post eq and maybe some simulated stuff inside the amp. I’ve never spent time with a Kemper but my understanding is that the base tone is what it is.

      Not a bad thing in my book. It’s an antidote to endless knob tweaking. But I suspect it leads to endless profile library grooming.

      Interesting. I don't know enough about NAM as I haven't cared too much. I know of it from watching Glen Fricker, an online persona I enjoy but don't blindly follow by any means (I'm not even a metal musician, even though I played in a metal band for a few years).

      I've never really moved on from the, uh, actual amplifier. What's the point of amplifying an extremely imperfect instrument if you aren't going to use an imperfect, defective, amplification device?

      Obviously lots of people will disagree with me and will take my previous statement as some kind of law I'm trying to lay out. Do what you want. Pristine sounds can be converted in cold hard cash, I get it.

      Uh, that's actually all I've got.

    This devkit is awesome. I ported my game engine to it (which was already running on ESP32 so it was relatively easy) and actually use it as my everyday watch. Boots a 3D scene authored in Unity in about one second from power off. BMS keeps power to the RTC so it works as an useful clock, planning to add more features later.

    Battery lasts for weeks with this cold boot mode too

      This devkit does look fun. I had a few small personal projects I though might be worth writing for Android Wear OS, but Google isn't worth the hassle, and this little ESP32 Watch might be less friction.

    It's quite a lot of fun to make guitar like noises and adjust the various parameters...

    Are there similar projects already on github? Definitely these pedals have become dirt cheap to buy online.

    I would think the wasm build is a lot more interesting.
