You should plan on processing data at about 3 to 4 times the highest
     frequency you'll be working with. (Example: For 10KHz signal bandwidth
     use 30KHz to 40KHz data sample rate.)  Distortion will be significant
     with only 8 bits of resolution.  Dynamic range (volume range) will
     also be very limited with only 8 bits of resolution.  I highly suggest
     you move to a fast 16-bit architecture for this audio application.

   Has anyone tried to implement FFT width PIC?
   I'm tryng to do some guitar effects and i don't want to use a DSP (to
expensive). At first glance, the worst problem is the memory. Any ideas ?
