Tremolo Effect Circuit for Electric Guitar or Other Musical Instruments

Tremolo circuit is a kind of sound effect. We can see this type of effect is applied  in guitar effect pedals.  Tremolo effect is produced if we modulate the amplitude of an audio signal. The shape of modulating signal can vary from square wave, sawtooth, or sine. When we use a square wave, then the effect produce a knocking-like sound […]

Missing Pulse Detector Circuit with 555 IC

An absence of pulses could mean an important things, depending on your system, it might be a grip loss when your vehicle’s wheel is locked during braking and anti-lock action should be taken immediately,  a loss of image integrity and your monitor should be blanked while trying to regain the synchronization signal, or it could be any other important things […]

60-dB Range Compressor For Audio

A compressor circuit shown in the schematic diagram below can produce consistent output of 1.4V P-P over entire 60dB range that is very useful for audio level/volume stabilization.  As the main components, this circuit uses a 741 opamp and JFET. With input range of 20mV to 2oV, this circuit has delay time of 0.4s (decay time)  and response time of […]

Difference Of Squares Analog Computing

Because the differential input capability of the AD532, algebraic solution of several interesting functions such as difference of squares, (X2-Y2)/10V is allowed. The following figure shows us about the configuration of AD532 in the square mode, with a simple unity gain inverter connected between one of the signal inputs (Y) and one of the inverting input terminals (-Yin) of the […]
