Abstract Details

2017, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE), Wright State University, Electrical Engineering.
Many companies in the music industry offer programmable preset guitar pedals. Presets allow musicians to save time and focus on their act by recalling predetermined settings during a performance. A majority of the companies in the music industry offer up to hundreds of presets, but realistically the substantial amount of presets may have a negative effect on the musician’s performance due to time constraints. The main contribution of this thesis is to address the musician by reducing the amount of presets offered in a guitar pedal design. Combining two systems, a digital control and audio processing circuit, will produce a programmable four-preset guitar pedal. Cost and size are design constraints that will also be taken into consideration. The techniques observed in this thesis will benefit the music industry because they can be adapted into other guitar pedal designs. This thesis closes with an evaluation of the final design, feedback from musicians in the community, and suggestions for future improvements.
