Welcome to EACED. I've been building and modifying effects and other audio devices since 2003. I'm ready to take on any project you're interested in, from adding an expression pedal jack to a completely customized synthesizer. I also can design a circuit or special purpose chip for you if you build music gear. Prices depend on how much time is required and the price of parts. This page shows some of the more interesting projects I've completed; it's updated regularly so check back. Click on any of the thumbnails in the scrolling box below for information, images, soundclips, and videos of each project. If you have questions, inquiries, or anything comments at all, don't hesitate to e-mail me.
I am currently not accepting orders.
Digital Lo-Fi Box
"It's perfect! I found a host of various 'in-between tones' in the bitcrusher section: near ring mod, Atari glitching, dying machinery and many other sounds. The filter is fantastic, too!" -Christian baker
The Digital Lo-fi box is a bit crusher, sample rate reducer, and resonant low-pass filter. So far, I've made two of these (take a look below). This kind of effect has an obscenely large amount of sounds in it but is by no means particularly chaotic or unpredictable. The digital portion is an 8-bit ADC/DAC which you can reduce the bit depth of. One great thing about this circuit is that you can get literally any bit depth from 2^0 to 2^8 quantized values. What this means is that you get a lot more control over the bit crushing sound. The filter is raunchy, MS-20 style resonant low-pass. There are expression and CV inputs for bit depth, sample rate, and LPF frequency. I've also built one with an envelope control (with up/down switch and a depth knob) for the sample rate and a switch that selects whether the LPF goes before or after the bit crusher/sample rate reducer. There's an input gain knob (you can clip it for a raunchy analog fuzzerdrive), a mix knob, and a wet level knob. Most people become familiar with this effect because of VST plugins - this particular pedal does an incredibly large amount more than any bit crusher VST that I know of, and it's hardware! The soundclips below are from the larger Digital Lo-Fi Box with the envelope control circuit.
