The Return of PENDA — Version II is Here!

Hi everyone,

I’m excited to announce that PENDA II is now available on GitHub!


This new version is a significant evolution of the project and brings several major improvements:

  • Full stereo processing
  • Digital Dry/Wet control using digital potentiometers
    → The best of both worlds: a fully analog dry path, and the ability to store the dry/wet mix with each preset
  • A redesigned power circuit focused on audio quality:
    • Effective filtering of noise from the power supply
    • Strict separation of analog and digital ground planes
    • Dedicated regulators for analog and digital sections

With PENDA II, we’re moving from a “design to cost” approach (PENDA 1) to a philosophy that aims for audio excellence and reliability — no compromises.

Naturally, PENDA II comes with its own dedicated software platform, designed to fully leverage the capabilities of the new hardware.
