Thanks to Vblank and Batsly Adams for their help. Vblank gave me some programming lessons and Batsly helped me choose the correct components to use.

Thanks to Bucky from [ Ссылка ] for being my camera man on this one.

Thanks to Part Time (my cat) for trying to get into every video i post. ...gives me chiptune street cred yo.

This a CV sequencer i built (with an arduino microcontroller). It Sequences the pulse width of my guitar. I got the idea from tracking (composing) in famitracker, LSDJ and Goattracker. When you compose for the NES or the Gameboy, there are tons of effects you can choose from to make square waves more complex and interesting sounding. So, once i saw that the Pulsemonger pedal had a CV input for the pulsewidth i had to buy it. There are a couple reasons i built this with an arduino: I wanted to make it expandable. In the future, I may add some tap tempo functionality or i thought maybe it might be fun to actually hook the sequencer up to my Gameboy (through the linker port) so the sequencing would happen in relation to the tempo of the song i'm playing.

People have been complaining that this is not truely 8bit. Here's why it is:

If you know anything about 8bit music, you'd really know that the music chip is not truely 8bit. 8bit reffers more to the VDP (visual display processor) in the old consols. The sound is really just a low res/shitty analog synth that accepts digital messages (in various bit depths) - so... what you know as 8bit is really just shitty analog synths - i think this qualifies! Besides, the guitar (with these pedals), is doing a similar thing to the square waves of a C64 or NES. Perhaps i should have called it "Chip Guitar - PWM," but i'm sure people dont search for that as much as 8bit. blah... if i could change the genre name i totally fucking would!
