WHAT IS THE DESIGN PROBLEM THAT I AM TRYING TO SOLVE WITH MY PROJECT?
My idea isn't so much about solving a problem through design, but rather extending the function of a current design; modifying/hacking an object (a guitar in my case) to perform something else which may or may not be practical or useful. I want to modify a guitar pedal to take the incoming frequencies of a guitar, and by assigning specific colors to specific tones it will output "visual music" on a large tv or something.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NUANCES TO THIS DESIGN? (special consideration, materials, process, effects of switching, etc)
From a practical standpoint it seems like this would be a pretty basic design, the only thing that really needs to be taken into consideration is the arrangement of the electrical and technical components in the pedal.

The idea sounds (pun intended) cool.
If your hacking something like a wawa pedal, how are you changing it and what software/interface would you use to create/construct these colors/images? You could use Flash, or Processing, adjusting the pedal to work like a translator for the notes you play (note,octave=number=color).
Or, maybe, you don't want it to be so linear?
