The Arduinoboy source code has a boolean for setting it to "usbmode" ... usb mode is the same as midi mode, except the baud rate is set to 38400 as oppose to 31250. you can then use any program or whatever on the computer to communicate with the gameboy via usb. (max,processing,etc,etc)

As I stated I use it to roll off low end before compression. nothing really fancy, its just removing elements that would alter the compression settings.

A generic effect chain forme is:
EQ (always first) -> Bit crusher -> Delay -> Filter

NO! Filters sometimes sound cool pre bit crush. wink Just like using distortion after a filter. It depends on the effect you want to achieve of course.

I assume EQ would be counted as a filter?

Yes. I guess you'd call a EQ a filter when its extreme or changing over time.

what happens when you have something like a punchy kick drum with a bith of EQ/compression/reverb then you want to EQ the whole mix? is it ok to have multiple EQ stages?

Yes. I think if you want things to behave as expected when using a compressor its good to roll off inaudible frequencies (usually the low-lows) so that those frequencies dont screw with the dynamics & settings of your compressor. What frequencies to roll off is generally very hands on, but usually you want to kill anything below 20hz, and soften things around ~50 to ~110hz depending on the amount of bass in the source, and the amount you want to pass though.

Ultra generic setting to visualize: (this might be too extreme or the wrong hz, its really up to you to tune it in correctly)

Generally my chan looks like this:
[source]->[crazy effects or nothing]->[eq if needed]->[compressor if needed]->[track volume & reverb send & delay/chorus send]

[master bus]->[eq]->[effects if needed]->[compressor/limit]->[profit]
* master bus chain disabled when mixing tracks, its only for mastering*

I almost always use a separate fx send for reverb and another for chorus, I dont mix them both together. that way all other tracks in the project can have the same "room/hall/whatever" sound because its shared.  You can do this in Renoise using that "Send" plugin. Also if I mix reverb and chorus/delay things tend to get too muddy and lost.
