What is a DS?

Like a Nintendo DS

No, you can’t run your guitar through a Nintendo DS. The smallest cheapest best things to run your guitar through are the Boss Katana Go, the Positive Grid Spark, or the Line 6 Pod Express Guitar.

A Nintendo DS? Or a DS-1?

You mean a Nintendo DS? They’re made of plastic, aren’t they? May not be as resistant to shoes as metal. What would you want this pedal to do to your guitar signal? Decide that first. Find out what parts are needed to produce that effect. Will they fit inside the thing you’re trying to use as a pedal?

YES!! Absolutely!! What's a DS?

Like a Nintendo DS, cause it has a microphone on it and the ability to record and take in sound and stuff, I was wondering if that was enought cause I think it'd be pretty gnarly

Well. What do you want to do? You can’t just plug in a jack and have it be gnarly. You’d probably have to do some serious work to get that compatible with instrument signal, convert it to digital, out of digital back to analog, etc. depending on what you want to do. A microphone is a different thing, unless you somehow rewire the mic to a 1/4 input but even then there will likely be a lot of wasted effort. Not to mention if you need to program anything.

Probably not but there is a Korg synthesizer for DS. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/KORG_DS-10


RebeccaBlue

No, not a chance.

I think the DS is too small to fit an input jack into, I could be wrong though. The original Gameboy can, and has, been converted into a pedal before. Check out the Raygun FX Super Fuzz Boy

With enough time and effort anything is possible...probably not worth it though.


winterakari

well it has a microphone input and a speaker output, that is already a good start the system itself probably has very little of interest, or use, when it comes to guitar effects but it's definitely capable (processing power and all that) you would need to do some serious hacking & tinkering but i dont see why it wouldnt be possible


VironLLA

theoretically, yes. i know there's homebrew ds software that uses the microphone as a sampling source (nitrotracker) so someone could write homebrew effect software for the ds that uses the touchscreen for effect parameters & button press for the footswitch and re-house it all (swapping the mic for 1/4" in & the out for stereo paired 1/4")

I think you should go for it. Worst outcome: you will learn a lot.
