Winning project for the Swedish Embedded Award 2010

DGN-1 is an electric guitar effect chain implemented on an Altera DE2 prototyping board.

• It chains together six different, fully configurable digital effects realized entirely in hardware.
• Complete system delay is kept under one sample (0.02ms), resulting in a zero-delay audio path and true real-time sound processing capabilities.
• All of the implemented effects are parameterized and can be easily customized or bypassed with the use of a rich graphical animated interface.
• The UI displays a software audio analyzing module rendering a dual-channel oscilloscope-like transfer function plot and
  VU meters showing the output volume.

DGN-1 proves that it is possible to realize a complete guitar multi-effect chain on a single FPGA chip. This approach results in never-before-seen reprogramming and customization capabilities and could potentially disrupt the market.
