From the project
The Proto-Guitar Pedal Board is a universal hardware platform designed specifically for comfortable prototyping and testing of custom guitar effects.
The Proto-Guitar Pedal Board is a universal hardware platform designed specifically for comfortable prototyping and testing of custom guitar effects.
This project was born from my passion for music electronics. My first experience with KiCad was making a clone of the famous ProCo RAT pedal. I enjoyed this process so much that I decided to go a step further and start designing my own circuits at home. Instead of soldering connectors and potentiometers every time, I created a dedicated motherboard that has all the necessary peripherals integrated. Thanks to this, I can focus only on designing…
