This looks like an excellent all-in-one solution for those wanting to get started in DIY guitar effects fast. The Beavis Board kit comes with pretty much every necessity for development – A true-bypass i/o breakout box that makes it easy to connect circuits to the real world, i.e. your guitar, amps and pedals A pair […]

I turned an Arduino Protoshield into a digital-to-analog converter with only a few extra parts. It’s proved a lot of fun for audio experimentation and a great way to learn about what DACs do and how they do it. What’s DAC? Digital to analog converters, or DACs, are used to create varying voltage levels from […]
The electronic peasant has an interesting project, prime for audio investigators – There are a number of different ways to send vibrations travelling down a spring, but most spring reverbs use torsional (rotational) motion, which is less sensitive to interference from external vibrations. Here is an experiment that The Peasant did with a Slinky Jr […]
From the MAKE Flickr photo pool Flickr pool member Fungus Amungus made these chic speakers using Munny figures as enclosures. Not sure what level of hifi those little guys can deliver, but considering the cuteness factor – I might not even care much. – Munny speakers on Flickr Update: As pointed out in the comments […]
Limor of Adafruit Industries posted this video demonstrating how the Waveshield kit can turn Arduino into a sample-bending audio tool. Consider for a moment that potentiometer replaced by – oh let’s say – photocells or maybe a force-sensing resistor. If you’ll excuse me – I’ve got some experimentation to go do – Wave Shield for […]
Well, it won’t win any awards for high-fidelity (or even middle-fidelity), but this Instructable, which turns a Hallmark audio greeting card and a mini cereal box into an iPod speaker, might be a fun kids project. Make an iPod Speaker from a Hallmark Music Card
