- Pedal Time! Dallas-arbiter Fuzz Face
guitarz.blogspot.com Everybody is much probably familiar enough with the Fuzz Face so I don't have to recall that it's one of the earliest effect pedals, released by Ivor Arbiter in 1966, that the round case was inspired by the base...
- Gearing Up For Coming Concerts
I will have a few concerts in the coming weeks - solo and with the Soft Power Ensemble of Vienna. Here is my pedal line for my improvised solo act next week - as you can see I added an EHX Holy Stain multi-effect to the line, that...
- Plutoneium Chi-wah-wah And Hotone Skyline Wally
I recently expanded my pedal board with the acquisition of two great pedals… First I finally put my hands on a Plutoneium Chi-Wah-Wah, and my life has changed: I'm now able to use a wah effect - to use it and abuse of it: one more week of practice...
- Standuino Workshop And Diy Synths
I've had another interesting week-end, since last saturday I joined a workshop to build a Standuino Micro Granny - a DIY digital granular sampler. This time I had reading glasses and a magnifier so I managed to properly solder about 200 points,...
- Solid Body Percussion Guitar
This guy in France invented a cool percussion guitar system for solid body guitars, called Gperc - and he looks for crowd-funding to develop, build and sell this new instrument. Look at the video and listen to the music, it's pretty good, and if...

The Owl programmable effect pedal
Last year I posted about Devi Ever's Console project - a cartridge-based analog effect platform funded by Kickstater (unfortunately it's not been released yet, it seems that it was more difficult to develop than planned).
Here is another open-source / open hardware digital effect pedal, targeted at musicians as well as at developers: the Owl - and it's also looking for crowd funding... More or less you can program - or upload - any effect you can think of (preferably something that was never done before) in there!
It seems very interesting to me, though I know nothing about coding, but I'd bet that a completely new era is starting with these projects where musicians and technicians can closely collaborate to develop new sounds!
