</div><div><br></div>So how does one get one's guitar "out" of the UDOO and back into the guitar amp?<br><br></div>I'm assuming the only way would be to take the stereo out from the UDOO and plug it into a DI running in reverse and, finally, back into the guitar amp.<br>
<br></div>But it doesn't sound like that's what you're doing specifically. It almost sounds to me like you go into the 'house mains' sans amps on stage. Or am I missing something (wouldn't be the first time).<br>

<div><br></div><div>An embedded computer (rpi or UDOO, for instance) can totally do this and that's what some of us have used them for. Simplest case is to setup the system, install pd with your patch, and write a script that is launched when the machine boots that connects to the sound card and starts pd. This way it starts immediately when you turn on the power, no interaction required. All of this can be built into a box of some sort, giving you an in/out effects setup. It's what I've done with several systems, although they are not as small as a real pedal.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any regular USB sound card will work. I recommend the Roland Edirol UA-25 o/ UA-25EX as it's a simple USB 1 sound device that will work with anything that speaks USB audio without a driver. You get instrument jack/XLR preamps in and stereo out.</div>
<div><br></div><div>You could also get this setup with my Pd iOs app <a href="https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/blob/master/doc/PdParty_User_Guide.md" target="_blank">PdParty</a> of Chris McCormick's <a href="http://droidparty.net/" target="_blank">PdDroidParty</a> and a sound interface to your mobile device. For instance, I have an Alesis iODock for my iPad which gives me the equivalent of a UA-25. I've also had success using a UA-25 with a powered USB hub connected to the iPad via the camera connection kit usb adapter. Let me know if you want to beta test PdParty as it's currently not released on the App Store.</div>

<br></div>Are there any soundcards that output instrument level signals?<br><br></div>This would allow one to use "PD into a computer and then out of a computer" similar to how one uses an effects pedal, no?<br>
