| + | ====== Multi-effects guitar pedal ====== | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Description:** | ||
| + | This project is a digital, real-time multi-effect guitar pedal powered by an Arduino microcontroller. The system captures the analog audio signal from an electric guitar and converts it into a digital stream using an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Once digitized, the microcontroller applies Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms to manipulate the audio in real-time. The processed signal is then reconstructed into an analog sound wave via a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) and sent to the amplifier. | ||
| + | |||
| + | For the user interface, the pedal features an intuitive control panel: an LCD screen displays the currently active effect, a tactile push-button allows the user to seamlessly cycle through the four available effects, and a potentiometer knob provides real-time control over the intensity of the applied effect. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Implemented effects are: | ||
| + | * Distortion | ||
| + | * Overdrive | ||
| + | * Delay | ||
| + | * Reverb | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Utilities:** This device offers guitarists an all-in-one compact unit that replaces the need for multiple standalone pedals. Its plug-and-play design ensures an easy setup, that gets musicians ready to perform with a variety of core guitar tones. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Inspiration:** I wanted to do something practical that I would actually use. Guitar pedals are quite expensive and I only own one so I thought I could expand the collection for a cheaper price. Also, audio manipulation is an interesting technical domain; this project provides the opportunity to experiment with sound signals, DSP coding, and the intersection of hardware and software engineering. | ||
