The PedalPCB Arachnid is an FV-1 based digital multieffects pedal platform. Select between eight different high quality digital effects.
Three digital control parameters, analog dry signal path with wet/dry mix, and adjustable output volume capable of up to 6db boost.
NOTE: This item does not include an EEPROM. A compatible EEPROM must be purchased separately.
New Features! (2019 Edition)
- 8-position rotary switch for program selection
Program selection is now achieved with a 16mm 1P8T rotary switch instead of a standard potentiometer. This means better tactile feedback, aligning graphics with the switch positions will be more reliable, and no more need for the ATTINY microcontroller! - Updated mix control
Updated mix control allows 100% wet, 100% dry, and anything in between with less volume drop in the middle. - Improved signal path for lower noise floor
Improved filtering in the digital signal path lowers the noise floor without impacting tone.
Controls
- Control 1 – Digital parameter control
- Control 2 – Digital parameter control
- Control 3 – Digital parameter control
- Mix – Adjusts the Wet/Dry mix
- Mode – Selects the active algorithm
- Volume – Controls the overall output volume
Specifications
- Designed for a 125B enclosure with top-mounted jacks

My first FV1 pedal, I love the option to build your own multi-effect. Very easy build for the amount that it does. All 8 effects I chose sound fantastic, huge range of sounds available, great for knob tweakers.
Looking forward to building more and seeing what pedalpcb comes out with in the future.

The possibility to customise each logarithm plus boost 6db the signal path, converts the projects into a true beast, it just magnificent the gallery to choose your own effects, each one offers pure gold, I’ll look forward to new rom releases.

One of the most flexible build platforms around. Really please to see and use this improved FV-1 platform.

I had the FV1 pre-soldered and did 8 random effects. Sounds great and a lot of variation to each sound. Love this.

You need one. I thought this level of digital processing and multi effect capability was beyond the average DIYer but this was an absolute pleasure to build. I love the flexibility too, with a new EEPROM creating an entirely new pedal. Again, you need one!

this pedal is a lot of fun , the FX are all high quality .if you look through the forums you will find mods to double the effects from 8 to 16 with a few extra components . this one is well worth the extra money spent. 5 out of 5 must build.
