This session is great for any level of hacker, from beginner to advanced. If you dig music, pull up a bean bag chair and get with us for a groovy ride through a 1/4" inch cable.

First off, we'll take look at the hardware setup for this operation. Utilizing a basic USB Audio Interface, we can play sick riffs and carry the audio signal from the pickups inside our axe to a Raspberry Pi. After grabbing an adapter for our input cable, we then connect up to the amp.

Next, we install and configure a few basic necessities, namely Python, onto the Pi. Having an audio processing library like SoundDevice allows us to take advantage of the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA).

Another important library is PyDub - this allows us to protect our audio content using inaudible watermarks. After adding few other tools like NumPy and SciPy to the project, we begin to chase that dragon known as "perfect tone."

Last stop on this journey is a deep dive into the various ways we are able to hack our sound. Gain, reverb, threshold, delay, modulation - there's just too much to go over and not enough time. So, we cheat a little and use ChatGPT to help us generate values. I wonder what the "acid_sunburst" tone it created will sound like when it hits the speakers.

Peace
