BLACKSTOMP: Quick Development Platform for ESP32-A1S Digital Audio Effect Processor

• 

• 

• 

Blackstomp is a digital audio effect processor development platform based on ESP32-A1S module. Here are some of the feature’s highlights:

• Stereo line or guitar input/output
• Microphone input with programmable gain pre-amp
• Potentiometer, switch, and button interfaces
• MIDI input/output interface
• WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
• 24-Bit stereo codec with analog pass-through
• Dual core Tensilica Xtensa LX6 240 MHz 32-bit processor with single precision FPU (floating point unit)
• C++ library for fast development with Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF development tool chains.

The platform consists of hardware and software to implement digital effect pedal/stompbox. The hardware is designed for the simplicity and cost effectivity, while the software is designed to ease and speed up the application development.
