The OpenStomp™ Coyote-1 is an open source audio effects processor built for guitar players. With the Coyote-1 users can develop custom audio effects in software (like distortion, echo, chorus etc.), mix multiple effects to build “patches”, and exchange those effects and patches with the OpenStomp™ community.
Technical Specifications:
- Propeller Processor (eight independent 80MHz cores or “cogs”)
- 1MByte SRAM
- 44kHz 24-bit sampling (2 input channels and 2 output channels)
- 4 control knobs
- 16×2 LCD screen
- 2 stomp switches
- 2 stomp indicator LEDs
- 1 1/4 inch audio input
- 1 1/4 inch audio output
- 1 multipurpose 1/4 inch audio jack (can be used as either a second output (for stereo effects) or as an additional input (for modulation effects etc.))
- NTSC Video out
- Micro USB
- 9V DC Power in
- Headphone out (mini phono jack)
- RJ45 expansion port (for potentially adding things like external foot pedals)
