GuitarPedal is an experimental repository exploring a digital guitar-effects signal chain implemented with lean, low-level code. The project demonstrates how to read audio input, process it through simple transformations, and write the result out in real time with minimal latency. It emphasizes straightforward, inspectable DSP so developers can follow the math and tweak parameters without a giant framework in the way. The codebase favors portability and simplicity, focusing on a handful of canonical effects rather than a sprawling plugin architecture. It doubles as a teaching aid for musicians who code, showing how buffers, sampling rates, and numerical stability affect tone. While not a full multi-FX suite, it offers a compact sandbox for experimenting with guitar processing on modest hardware.
