Single Supply Octave Shifter: A Frequency Doubler Effect For Electric Guitar
Octave shifting or frequency doubling effect for electric guitar is done by rectifying the original signal, just like AC to DC conversion inside your AC-DC power supply adapter. The circuit for this audio effect is not new, I’ve seen it on many publications. Here I present the circuit’s schematic diagram, but I’ve redesigned the circuit …[Read More]
Analog Audio Delay Line: Expand Your Virtual 3D Sound Space
It is fun to make a variable space in your small room, but it’s hard to make the actuator to move your wall or room partition. Using analog audio line delay, you can adjust your room virtually. Just turn a knob in your audio set and you can adjust your room size. The circuit …
For anyone who love transistor circuits, here you can find small wattage discrete amplifier. Building discrete amplifier is much more fun and some people say it’s involve more artworks than building the ones with integrated circuit. Look at the figure below for the circuit’s schematic diagram. A variable resistor 470 Ohm is provided in series …[Read More]
