Andon Whitehorn and the Mitsubishi M65850

Episode Summary

This one is a bag of chips and also all that, as we're joined by Andon Whitehorn of Lantern Manufacturing. Andon tells us about the Mitsubishi M65850 delay chip, a largely overlooked relative of the infamous PT2399, and how it served as a gateway to designing pedal circuits around esoteric chips. We circle back to some familiar ideas, touching on old technology vs new and the way inspiration can come from limitation, and dive deep on how Andon makes things difficult on himself by prizing process as much as product. We do also yes talk about potato chips.
