Description
Summary:The background of this project is to explore the areas of Analog Electronics in relation to modern music, specifically the electric guitar. When an electric guitar is played, the string movement produces a signal by inducing small electrical current in the magnetic pickups. These pickups made of magnets wound with coils of very fine wire allowing the signal to pass through the tone and volume circuits to the output jack to create the ‘notes’ and ‘chords’ used in music. These electrical signals that create the various notes and chords are often modulated at the guitar output before being input into the speaker / direct-line-in units. The project will explore how these modulations are created through guitar effect pedals with the use of analog electronics.
