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 …
I shipped my last kit last week. Mixed feelings. It’s cool that 3 dozen pi-Stomps are rockin’ the world in at least 8 different countries. I’d really like to be able to offer a new batch of kits, but the enclosure blank was somewhat unique (4-screw 1590DD instead of the typical 6-screw). I’m unable to …
Sold and sent off another 5 kits this week. One to Chile, one to Italy. So 26 pi-Stomps now in 8 countries and 4 continents! Gotta step up my Antarctica marketing.
pi-Stomp has always intended to be a platform. One of its main advantages over commercial units, is that it runs Linux, and thus can run additional software. I just committed some minor software changes to allow the hardware to work independently of the recommended MOD software. So now, you can use pi-Stomp hardware with other …
A few new developments. pi-Stomp was featured on the PedalHaven blog: I submitted pi-Stomp as a Hackaday project: https://hackaday.io/project/175863-pi-stomp-a-hi-def-multi-fx-platform-for-guitar And we’re now selling on Tindie: All three have led to quite a few bundle sales. And builders keep building.
The new 1.0.2 board includes a better input buffer and a few enhancements to make it somewhat easier to build (IC sockets and less soldering). At this time, I can only make 6 available, because I’m waiting for a part to be back in stock.You can order here:http://www.treefallsound.com/opencart/index.php?route=product/product&path=25_31&product_id=55 Make sure you order the corresponding bill of materials …
A couple more of the 1.0.1 builds are complete and I got valuable feedback from the builders. I’ve made a few improvements to the circuit board – input buffer and a few non-functional changes that should make it easier to build. Those circuit boards are on their way to me. Once I’ve completed a new …

I’m waiting for build feedback (no pun intended) on the first batch of purchased pi-Stomp bundles. I’ve received a few questions, so I’ve been updating the build instructions to clarify certain steps. Once I’ve heard that a few more units are up and running, I’ll submit an order for new boards (likely with some minor …
