Guitar effect using DSP

This would be a software issue.

Note it's not a new thing. People were discussing it in early home computer magazines, though it was so much harder back then when the CPUs were slow and RAM was expensive. A DSP just does it offloaded from the computer's CPU, and is streamlined for the task.

Hal Chamberlin's "Musical Applications of Microprocessors", the first edition came out in the late seventies or early eighties, but since we are talking basics the explanations are bound to still be valid, even if the hardware has progressed since then.

This may be of help

C is crap for DSP.

Dare I say this ! Assembler is great for DSP !

I've done it and written my own algoritms too. Good luck to you !

Are good starting places.

Delay is simple indeed. Reverb is definitely not (if you want anything usable). Chorus is somewhere in between.

Actually, an acceptable distortion is probably easier to implement than a reverb or a chorus.

Buy a Behringer pedal. It wil be way cheaper than building, take no time to implement, and actually work.
