    Couple things...

    First facebook decided I was a bot and messed up the accounts so the old Experimental Noize page there is gone, new ones at https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61594580558568 Second we now have a web based gooeycore editor, assembler and simulator with register display and break point...

    FxCore is great

    Check with Profusion they have a Hong Kong office and are an official distributor ( HK site: https://www.profusion.hk/ ), they are based in UK ( https://gb.profusion.uk/uk/ ).

    FxCore is great

    Lost track of time from finishing the updates to the tools and other things so it will have to wait as I am literally going out the door for a few weeks away. I can say we did builds using PCBs from JLC and had boxes drilled at Tayda so we will be sharing the drill file/template/whatever Tayda...

    V2026.1 tools released

    Win x64 and Mac AppleSilicon versions posted, add support for the SandboxFX open source pedal. Also adds local ".equ" support for library routines so you can have multiple copies of the same block without them stepping on each other. Useful for things like the new example graphic EQ block and...

    FxCore is great

    Just posted the files at https://github.com/DisasterAreaDesigns/Sandbox-FXCore in the SandboxFX_dev directory Works with the web based assembler, 2026.1 tools almost ready that will support both the pedal and the original dev board.

    FxCore is great

    Got behind with a lot of things that have come up, but it has been moving forward. Final boards done, testing almost complete, updating assembler to work with the board, finishing firmware for RP2040-zero board (provide USB HID interface and USB drive emulation for systems that do not support...

    FxCore is great

    Still working on the final board (thanks to Matthew at Alexander Pedals), unfortunately business gets in the way of the fun stuff. FXCores are available at a few places like Cabintech, Amplified Parts and Profusion (Europe and Asia).

    FxCore is great

    Not yet, needed one more pass on the main board. Should go out in a week or so. We are updating the tools to support both the original dev board and sandbox as well as adding a few small improvements. Most important/one that may effect people is that the preprocessor will now treat ".equ"...

    FV-1 Sandbox pedal

    Another way to look at this is why run at such a high sample rate if not necessary? Guitars have a limited bandwidth, even after many effects are applied so why run higher than actually required? Lots of pedals run at 16KHz sample rate so they have 2 seconds of delay available. An electric...

    FV-1 Sandbox pedal

    You can do what ever changes you need to so you can handle hotter signals but keep in mind: 1. The pedal was designed for guitar level signals with plenty of head room in the op-amps to avoid clipping/signal inversion error in the TL072. 2. The filtering around the op-amps is for pre/post...

    FxCore is great

    As Digital Larry mentioned, the FXCore is already available but it is not source code compatible with FV-1. FXCore uses a different processing structure, etc. so making it source compatible would have limited the chip. But it has all the functions to replicate the instructions of an FV-1 it just...

    FxCore is great

    Forgot to mention that the official tool set (assembler/preproc/GooeyCore) will support the Sandbox pedal so you can use any tool (web or computer based) with both the dev board and the Sandbox pedal. This updated tool set will be released when the PCBs are released.

    FxCore is great

    As I said, once they are proven. First pass is just arriving this week so need to build and test, watch the github link as they will be posted there when ready. Web based assembler is done and posted and should work with the existing dev board via WebHID (use Chrome or Edge browser), the...

    FxCore is great

    There is, Matthew Farrow of Disaster Area Designs/Alexander Pedals and I have been working towards an open source PCB/pedal design/assembler, the Sandbox FXCore. Assembler is done and online https://fxcore.sandboxpedal.com/ , Matthew released the first pass of the PCBs and he should have them...

    V2025.1 Tools released

    Yes, we are always looking at feedback and suggestions from users. As an example we are working on 2025.2 and one of the main updates will be including the FXCoreMP macro processor tool from @Cabintech in the all-in-one package. Looking at also including it in the Win X64, Mac X64 and Mac...

    EEPROM programming hardware

    It really breaks down to the following: 1. No programmer other that the Spin dev board is compatible with the SpinASM s/w directly. 2. Any programmer that can read Intel HEX format files and is able to program 24LC32A EEPROM will work 3. From SpinASM you need to make a project (see PDF on...
