Easy Spin: Powerful and Easy DSP

Visit our Store to purchase.

Easy Spin is a compact, FV-1 based DSP pedal that makes it easy (and fun) to make your own digital effects. The Easy Spin offers high quality audio processing enabling a wide range of effects.

Part of what makes the Easy Spin super easy is the Audiofab USB programmer and programming software. This combination offers quick and easy programming of the pedal with DSP programs you develop yourself or download — details below. (Our legacy programming software, fv1_programmer, can still be downloaded here.)

Easy Spin supports eight digital effects, selected by a rotary switch. The parameters of each digital effect can be controlled via three potentiometers.

Features:

  • True bypass switching

  • Internal 9V battery and external 9V PSU input

  • LED indicator

  • Rugged 1590B aluminum enclosure

  • Ultra low noise power supply and an enhanced PCB layout to ensure the lowest possible system noise

  • High quality switches, jacks and potentiometers

  • Integrated programming jack for connecting to the Audiofab USB Programmer

  • Easy to use programming software that supports quick download and programming

Controls:

  • Three potentiometers for controlling DSP effects

  • Eight position selector switch (to select the DSP algorithm)

  • True bypass footswitch

The FV-1 is supported by a thriving ecosystem.

To get started with programming, we recommend SpinCAD Designer. It is a powerful and easy to use block diagram programming tool that has found strong support in the FV-1 community.

If you want to dive deeper, you can program in assembly language. For the smoothest experience, we suggest using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) with our FV-1 programming extension.

You can easily write and edit FV-1 assembly code in VS Code, then assemble and program your Easy Spin pedal directly from VS Code using our VS Code extension and USB programmer. No additional software is needed and you can program individual slots or all eight slots (as a bank) on your Easy Spin pedal.

There is also a helpful repository of FV-1 programs here. We also offer some SpinCAD Designer banks for free (see our Downloads page).

Easy Spin is available as a fully assembled pedal, a PCB set with surface-mount components installed, or a raw PCB set. We also offer a kit of the key electromechanical parts. The Audiofab USB Programmer can be purchased separately.
