Project Description:
Our system is conceived as an educational tool tailored for musicians with practical experience in effect pedals but limited background in signal processing or electronics, targeting educators, hobbyists, and beginner effect pedal builders. The core project goal is to design and create a multi-effect guitar pedal that effectively teaches basic signal and electronics concepts through hands-on interaction. To achieve this, we are developing an Arduino-based signal processing system that will convert guitar signals into readable digital data, enabling real-time audio analysis and effect modulation. We use Analog Devices’ EVAL-ADAU1467 Board to digitally simulate effects, and to switch between the physical effect pedal, and multiple digital effects. The system will feature a user interface that visually presents both the original guitar waveform and the processed waveform after the applied effect, allowing users to directly compare and understand the impact of signal manipulation.
