If you're into music, then you know what the wah-effect is. If not, then a short hop over to Orastron A-SID will suffice, because there you can try it live on various SID creations with the help of a JS demo.

CutOff, LFO Amount and Speed can be set separately, and the generated effect should at least trigger the acoustic memory of most. Now what does all this have to do with 8-bit machines?

Well, the Orastron Team has implemented the effect generator for the C64. The highlight is, that no hardware modification is necessary. But you do have to get your hands dirty, if you want to build the audio/video breakout cable and the optional pedal2paddle adapter.

Otherwise, a VST3 plugin is also available ... but who needs that if there is a C64 implementation. 😑

Very cool open source project and a playground that shouldn't get boring anytime soon. 🎹
