A list of FV-1 programs for DIY guitar pedals and other effects applications
View the directory here: https://mstratman.github.io/fv1-programs/
This repository contains a collection of programs (or patches) for the Spin Semiconductor FV-1 IC. The goal is to be an open, community-driven resource containing the most comprehensive list programs for DIY guitar pedal builders.
The FV-1 is an incredible IC (integrated circuit) with a DSP (digital signal processing) core that is used at the heart of many popular guitar pedals for effects such as reverb, delay, chorus, and more. It is used by hobbyists and pedal manufacturers alike. It's also used in mixers, amplifiers, karaoke machines, and more.
Until now, finding programs to use or study meant either relying on the precious few that Spin provides, or scrounging through hundreds of threads in discussion forums, and various other disparate sources, all the while trying to determine if they even work. I hope this project helps other guitar pedal builders find the tones they're looking for, and inspiration to create even more great programs.
The simplest way to help out is to send an email to the maintainer of this repository with any additional programs you'd like to add, or with commentary, corrections, or other information to add to the page.
This is an open source project, so you are welcome and encouraged to dive deeper as well. Clone this repository and follow the "Build Setup" below and you can have your own working copy of the site to tinker around with.
I also welcome and encourage pull requests of any kind, but particularly to the programs.js
file which contains the list of all FV-1 programs on the site.
The programs.js
file contains the list of all FV-1 programs, and is
structured as follows:
export default [
{
name: "Flange Verb", // Required
description: "A Hall reverb, with a bit of flanger. Based on the internal ROM program, with a few tweaks.",
author: "Blah Blah",
author_url: "mailto:[email protected]", // Or a regular web link
categories: ["Flanger", "Reverb"], // Required, at least 1
download: { // Required
spn: { // or "spbk", "spcd", "hex", or "zip"
// Either file or url. You don't need both.
file: "flange_verb.spn",
}
},
source_url: "https://example.com/thread1", // Where did you find this, particularly if there is discussion about it
special_pcb: false,
schematic_file: "schematic_abc.png",
// Optional. Commentary lets us add longer descriptions than the "description" field,
// and allows others to submit comments about patches, as time goes on.

we assume the program will work with the "Typical Application" circuit in the FV-1 datasheet.files
directory and its filename used here (if possible).Or rather, here are the notable files you're most likely to be looking for:

yarn dev -o --host 0
# generate static project
yarn generate
