Hi,
here is some news :

I have created prototypes of a new PCB : X4 :
this board is very similar to X2,
but with added line in and high quality ADC, for external effects processing.

I plan to try make a guitar effects pedal based on it. Not sure if it could have use for DOS gaming ?
I made 5 boards of X4 now, for testing purposes of different software ideas.
Not sure if I will ever make a larger batch, it could well be very limited edition, just for experiments 😀

Also working on the X2BOX and X4BOX :
Enclosure, to use your X2 or X4 standalone, over USB.

Needs LEGO compatibility =P

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Huh, i've been playing guitar for 20+ years now. Started when i was 15yo, now i'm 36. 😵

I'm curious, what kind of guitar pedal do you want to do? Just modulation effects? Amp simulation? Overdrive / Distortion?

Very interesting! Watching this develop as a guitar player myself.

It is all digital so could implement a lot.
