I imagine you’re all sick of hearing stories of Supply chain issues, but here’s another. Since pi-Stomp launched, at least a couple dozen times, parts have been unavailable, so I’ve had to switch vendors or switch to a completely different part. It’s been a hassle but never a huge problem. This year has been different. …

It’s been a long time coming. pi-Stomp Core was created to allow builders to build their dream multi-effects processor. But since customization of controls dictates the enclosure, builders were on their own to machine their own. We got plenty of requests to make an enclosure available that includes a fairly common configuration: 3 footswitches, 2 …

Once it seems that builds are successful, I’ll make another batch of kits available on the store. In the meantime, I’ll …

Blokas Labs is an awesome organization and creator of one of the main pieces of open-source software used by pi-Stomp. Every month they feature two DIY musicians doing inventive things with their software. We were interviewed and featured this month. https://blokas.io/reads/
I received the first prototype pi-Stomp Core boards a couple of weeks ago. It only took 2 minutes and 13 seconds to build! (well, in time lapse) In real time, it took about 1.5 hours. I won’t spoil the ending, but let’s just say I was quite encouraged. All systems were functional on the first …
