GuitarBox 1.52 — Real Time Guitar Effects Processor!

greg | May 11, 2007

Count ‘em — 2 in a row! Submitted for the PSP Hacks 2007 Homebrew Competition is GuitarBox from developer Rocamatics.

Also the first homebrew app of its kind… GuitarBox will process sound signals from electric instruments in real time — acoustic and/or electric guitars, microphones, etc… Currently the following effects are supported: noise suppressor, phaser, distortion (overdrive type), delay, and a 3-band equalizer.

You will need to build the audio connector yourself. Can you guess where to find that info? Bingo! The included readme.txt.

What’s planned for the future?

  • A REAL Guitar Tuner
  • Recording Capabilities (like audio mechanica!)
  • Flanger, Chorus, Tube Screamer, Pitch Shifter and Auto Wah!
  • Less latency

Rock on! Awesome work Rocamatics, very cool!

don’t know why… there is 3 (yes 3) mic ins in the psp… but no mics at all just because sony dosent want (like keyboard…) all cuz of mylo ?
1. audio out IS MIC TOO… 4 contacts P2
2. serial has a mic too (i guess is hardconnect to the P2 one)
3. usb mics

Kudos to the max!!!! Looking forward to see what becomes of this :-) Maybe I can replace my POD XT with this when latency is no longer an issue…

lmao…i have a POD XT Pro, and i cant imagine anything out there replacing that, especially an app. this looks like a cool program and all, but you are clearly insane or retarded.

You fucking dickhead, a POD weighs way more than a PSP, and if I could get descent distortion out of this I could also run it through Gearbox (POD on computer) to get “the rest”. I travel alot with too much equipment.

Comment by everyone
2007-05-14 00:40:10

what’s ‘descent distortion’? is that like distortion that goes down? must be hard to type while carrying all that gear, maybe you should set it down next time…lol

no actually, i think you have me beat on the retarded thing. see, you post your phone number ((+0047) 91 63 52 21) on your website and then promote your website while talking shit to random people online. it’s a miracle natural selection hasn’t taken care of you already for being so stupid in every possible way. I really hope you get a lot of annoying phone calls because of this. lol

your band really sucks by the way. i found your myspace page and i swear i am not just saying this because you’re an asshole. i really mean it. your band sucks. its kind of funny too because i dont even have to point it out, the numbers speak for themselves. you have 14674 profile views and 21447 song plays, yet you only have 1619 friends…lol you’re a good promoter i’ll give you that. but after all is said and done the old saying still rings true in this scenario–”you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink it”

What does those numbers tell you? They tell me that we are a small ban with a solid fanbase who come back to listen to the tracks over and over. Read the comments. To even think PSP gamers are going to call me just because you posted that number, yeah you have got to be fucking lame.

Show me your music, so I can see how ground breaking, new and deep enrichened person you are :)

dude, i really wanted that guy to be wrong about this. i love supporting indie music. but that was just really bad. i think it’s kind of like if Milli Vanilli chose to do instrumentals for low budget video game releases. you guys werent playing anything. you were pretending to play to a sequencer, and the stuff you came up with was so rigid, repetetive and fake sounding. its like you wanted to make it sound and look like a live band but you played guitar chords on a keyboard like C+C Music Factory or something. 1- you could use a singer….you could REALLY use a singer… and 2. it doesn’t help at all that you look like that nerdy kung-fu hero from Kentucky Fried Movie…lol

OMG man, you see… This is EXACTLY the kind of homebrew we need. This is REAL PSP HACKING right here! Playing games is cool, but when you can make a PSP do something that is was not designed for, that’s just beautiful. Keep up the awesome work. I wanna see this develop into a full blown homebrew app even if you don’t win. It’s just that great.

Also… you might wanna think about making a couple of those adapters and selling em around to make some money… Just a thought…

It will be cool if it had a AD-HOC wifi connection to other psps for wireless Guitar/Mic setups. One connected to the Guitar/Mic and the other one connected to a main amp/hifi system. But Iam looking forward to the recording system hes thinking to include in the next releases. Yeah cool release and I am looking forward to all the next releases

I cant get it work.. Can somebody help me? I made that connector, tested it, but when i connect it to a psp nothing happens, what i need to do to start that flickering screen with waves,i cant get that screen without a connector too. :)? By the way im on 3.30 OA, Maybe this program doesint tupport 3.30oe.. or it does?

Comment by Rocamatics
2007-05-14 13:10:04

Well, I’ve tested it in the 3.30 OE. To test, just plug the wires, play a MP3 with the XMB and check if you can listen any sound. If so, verify with a MIC that the input connector is working well. Normally, with a mic, you will listen to the MIC sound inmediatelly after the app is running.

2007-05-14 16:51:42

Well i can hear my mp3 and other sounds, but then i plug the guitar my headphones dont play anything, still that fizzy noise… So i think it is a problem with my connector, try to build another..:) And it would be awesome if anyone put a video like hole this thing works with distortion and other.. I have one more question, is it posible to plug microphone or guitar to psp and the sound would go through psp?? (without building connector)

Comment by Rocamatics
2007-05-14 22:57:56

Hi, please dont forget to use the START button to BYPASSS/ENABLE the sound in the device. Then, chose any effect, I suggest the PHASER (press the CROSS Button while in the phaser to enable this effect). U can press TRIANGLE to know all the keys to control the multieffects.
Cheers

If you dont want to use soldering stuff you can still build the cable, just build a cable like the one in this photo http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8635/cnxxx4.jpg

This is truly kick ass. Now if we could get all that you want implemented in it, and give me some pro tabs on my psp and I’ll be chasing Les Claypool’s footsteps in no time.

C’mon pro tabs on psp.
