RISCFX

Mar 2025 – May 2025

Designed and prototyped a real-time guitar effects processor targeting RISC-V hardware, capable of applying five studio-quality effects — reverb, delay, wah, overdrive, and mute — with near-zero-latency line-level processing for live performance.

• Implemented DSP algorithms for 5 effects with <5 ms latency at 44.1 kHz, 16-bit fidelity
• Developed FIFO buffering and DSP-based filtering, minimizing signal noise by >90%
• Built a VGA visual interface and PS/2 keyboard control system for real-time parameter adjustment and effect state display
• Ensured seamless line-level processing suitable for live guitar performance
