Languages used to code guitar pedals

I was just wondering what sort of language, or process is used to code the processors in digital effects? I know python, but that doesn't mean much.

Not sure if this article helps at all? Bit seems like if you don't know the coding of that chip then its pretty hard work.

it depends

if you really want to try designing your own DSP pedals this site may be the best place to start

homebrew digital guitar FX are still very new because up until now powerful DSP chipsets were not readily available at reasonable prices for hobbyists... the guys at the cutting edge use a variety of languages to program their chips.... there wills till be some analog circuit design needed to create a good preamp to prepare your hi impedance guitar signal to be converted to 1s and 0s in the most musical way possible
