### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
For once I have a post about something other than a project that was put on my desk at work. I have the opportunity to play bass guitar with a local rock band. Often when I am playing with them I can't help but notice the dizzying array of pedals the guitar players have at their disposal and how drastically they can change the sound.
|
||||
|
||||
While bass guitar pedals do exist, they are often hundreds of dollars a piece and while I enjoy playing, I would rather spend that kind of money elsewhere. So I wondered, is there a way I can have the functionality of a massive pedalboard without actually breaking the bank? Enter MODEP.
|
||||
|
||||
### What is MODEP
|
||||
|
||||
[MODEP](https://blokas.io/modep/) is a virtual guitar effects pedalboard powered by the Raspberry Pi. It's user interface is built on top of the work done by the team over at [MOD](https://mod.audio/) and is powered by RaspberryPi OS and Jack audio under the hood.
|
||||
|
||||
### Building a pedalboard
|
||||
|
||||
[Blokas](https://blokas.io/), the team behind MODEP, have a official hat for the Raspberry Pi called the [PiSound](https://blokas.io/pisound/) if you are looking for a compact all in one solution to run MODEP, but I decided to build my own.
|
||||
|
||||
My goal was to spend less than $300 dollars on the whole setup. Looking at the main parts I managed to stay within budget, however this does not account for some miscellaneous cabling and connectors, as well as a enclosure for the pedal. All in I did go over budget by about $50 but it was not necessary to complete the project, you will see why in the photos below.

| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| Pedaltrain Nano+ | ~$80 | https://pedaltrain.com/products/pt-npl-sc |
|
||||
| Korg Pitchblack Advance | ~$90 | https://www.korg.com/us/products/tuners/pitchblack_advance/ |
|
||||
| Raspberry Pi 4 4gb model | ~$55 | https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/ |
|
||||
| Behringer U-Phoria UM2 | ~$30 | https://www.behringer.com/product.html?modelCode=P0AVV |
|
||||
| Total | ~$255 | |
|
||||
|
||||
As of writing, Raspberry Pis are still unobtainium, so the pricing there is subject to change.

### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Overall I'm very pleased with how this project came together. Putting all the numbers together, I definitely spent more than what I budgeted, but I did stay under what it would have cost to buy an off the shelf digital effects processor. It doesn't make me a better player but at least now I can sound cool when I miss notes.
