I became interested in using the Arduino as a platform for creating a custom guitar effects pedal. I came across a website that has done just that. Some of you may be familiar with ElectroSmash and their guitar pedal shields for Arduino. https://www.electrosmash.com/pedalshield-mega
They sell kits with their custom made pcb's and provide the schematics for turning an Arduino into an effects pedal. They use the Arduino's built-in 10-bit ADC to sample the guitar signal and then pump the processed signal out a couple of digital PWM's.
I decided to give the circuit a go an build my own version. (didn't want to wait for the PCB to ship from England and saved about $20).
I followed the ElectroSmash schematic for the input and output stages:
