Looks like some pretty big leaps in automated PCB design. Makes me wonder if it will generate a whole new crop of YATS peddlers peddling their pedals, similar to the pandemic boom.

Not sure where you are at in your pedal journey. If you build one of these:

And flash it to your...
I didn’t investigate this before I built it. I tossed it in the cart on a sale day because it had a cool name.
I could not believe how this thing sounded with such a simple circuit. You can get normal tones, mis-biased gatey fuzz, self-oscillation, octave-down and descending arpeggio glitches…...
I couldn’t tell you what those companies are using, but I could almost certainly say it’s not the DaisySeed.
The DaisySeed is nice for DIY. It has a built-in USB interface, can fit on a breadboard, has plenty of I/O, can be programmed using C++, and there’s a bunch of projects and docs to explore.
