As an amateur musician, three things stand out:
1. I'd have a hard time seeing that small screen onstage, and my big foot would likely mash the wrong effects button. Others might find it easier.
2. There are tons of good, cheap effects boxes out there, and easy to find used. I like Pi boxes, but this seems like a homebrew replication of what's on the market.
3. All good boxes are low-latency, in my experience. It's a fundamental thing I think most players need.

- speed_spread 4y agoRegular guitar pedals are cheap and abundant.
- AlecSchueler 4y agoComment was edited after my comment to include the things that stand out, which were previously missing.
- Min0taur 4y agoI agree with both of these observations.

- thealienthing 4y agoYou’re definitely right. I think the draw of all of this is to make it yourself. The same could be said of people who make their own diy home weather stations or web servers. You could always outsource for the same thing that’s better, more frequently updated and probably cheaper when you factor in the time it takes to make. It’s just neat to make the tools that you ordinarily have to dish out catch to get. :)
