Aristocrat Programmable Guitar Pedal
The Aristocrat Programmable Guitar Pedal can go anywhere and become anything. It's a stompbox with a USB port so you can download and modify audio effects programs from the web and upload them into it. Inside, it combines the Arduino-like cross-platform environment of the Maple IDE with the horsepower of the Maple's upgraded microcontroller and the sound quality of the Audio Codec Shield from Open Music Labs.
