For my final project, I would like to design a wireless guitar effects pedal that can be attached to an electric guitar, similar to the Guitar Wing, or this custom guitar effects unit designed by Dereck Song. I created a prototype using Max. I used different keys on my computer to turn effects on and off. I did a run through of that in the video below. It is also possible to control the intensity of effects using the mouse. For my final project, I would like to use sensors and buttons on my microcontroller to control these parameters. I would also like to create an interface that resembles the Guitar Wing, and that can be easily attached to a guitar.
These are the timestamps for when different effects occur in my video.
(0:04-0:11) This is the “clean” sound of the guitar, with no effects. I’m using a Fender Stratocaster electric guitar.
(0:12-0:18) This is the guitar going through distortion.
(0:20-0:25). This is the guitar going through a phaser.
(0:26-0:32). This is a guitar going through delay.
