Picaxe 18X: Ring mod / Bitcrusher

Shows an example of an 8 bit R2R network in place on the outputs of a picaxe 18X.

It's very simple. The guitar is boosted by the preamp pedal. This signal is then fed into one of the analog inputs on the picaxe 18X. This value then sets the state of the R2R "network", which is connected directly to the computer speakers and the oscilloscope. The R2R network is made up of 5% accuracy resistors, so this could cause some noise issues as well maybe.

Anyway, it sounds sort of like a ring mode and a bitcrusher effect put together. I like the sound of the harmonics.

Would this work with a Picaxe-08M? I think it should but I don't want to pay postage to get some more 18Xs.
