If you want to be pedantic it probably can't emulate a guitar pedal that you can tap a representation of a Turing machine into and it will only make a sound if the machine halts.

I think I've read something about this in a story involving Achilles and a tortoise.

You can't create such a pedal in the first place, so...

You definitely can. You just cannot prove it will always make a sound.

The joke is that some pedals can be really complex with menu systems and all kinds of tricky jazz.

why couldn't you ? the code would just be

    extern char* turing_machine;
    int main() {
      process_turing_machine(turing_machine);
      beep();
    }

Yep. Disprove the sweeping generalization by counterexample.
