Hi,
I'm new to the forum and hoping to get a bit more proactive in building my own circuits. I want to cement my understanding in electronics as well as expand what I already know and because of this I would rather not take shortcuts but build from scratch what is reasonable in practice.
I've recently been wanting to build my own Guitar Pedals. The first pedal I want to build is a Looper Pedal, a good example of this is shown in the following video (a Ditto Looper):
When I want to record what I'm playing on my guitar I hit the pedal button, it begins to record, if it hit it again it stops recording and starts playing back.
I would like to take this project through a structured design project process starting from concept, block diagrams and adding and building upon this into a final circuit to implement into a complete enclosure and finished product. I would like to hear what would be the process you guys would take in designing something like this.
I would like this pedal to:
Obviously what I have described above is very high level, but am I on the right thinking path? And could anyone provide some guidance as to what would be the way to go?
I have an Arduino Leonardo at my disposal for prototyping.
Thanks!

I would like this pedal to:
- Have 5 minutes of record time
- At least 5 overdubs
- A bypass to play past the pedal if wanted
- Undo/redo recordings
