This guitar effect circuit uses a simple high gain amplification, followed by a symmetric clipping using parallel diodes clipper. The gain of the 741 op-amp pre amplifier will be R3/(total impedance of guitar pickup + C1). With 1 kOhm guitar pickup and C1 combination impedance, the gain would be more than 1000x, this would be enough to make sure the […]

Tremolo sound effect is basically an amplitude modulator. Some people might get confused with vibrato effect, but vibrato effect is a frequency modulator, big difference. When you apply a tremolo effect on electric guitar for example, you’ll hear something similar with turning the guitar’s volume knob up and down, while vibrato effect will sound like pitch bending. With electronic circuit, […]

The two transistors amplifies the input signal from electric guitar. The two silicon diodes (any small signal type can be used) clips the amplified signal to produce a highly distorted output, after filtering the high frequency component using a 500 pF capacitor. The amount of the fuzz is adjustable from maximum fuzz to pure clean (normal playing). This guitar effect […]
