Guitar Pedal Research Pedal Manufacturers: BOSS Pedals I personally own the RC-2 loop pedal, which I love! I love using it because it offers me the ability to overdub and add percussion to my guitar playing, if I don’t have a friend to play with. Musically, I love working in layers to try out differentContinue reading “Analog Electronics Lab #11”

Circuit Link: https://www.multisim.com/content/zaaTfb5fmWVrXXU97BJhTV/analog-lab-10/open/ Completed Circuit: Extra Credit: For the extra credit, I decided to add a switch that could alternate between symmetrical and asymmetrical distortion. https://www.multisim.com/content/Zrbu54En22yBxHoGaH2mHh/analog-lab-10-extra-credit/open/

1. For the circuit below, if the signal is loud enough to distort, which of these will the output signal look like? If the signal is loud enough to distort, the output signal will look like answer A, the symmetrical distortion. 2. For the circuit below, if the signal is loud enough to distort, whichContinue reading “Analog Electronics Lab #9”

Questions: 1) With the oscillator we’re studying the comparator outputs a square wave and the integrator outputs a triangle wave. 2) With an integrator, if Vin is positive the output voltage ramps down (up/down). If Vin is negative the output voltage ramps up (up/down). 3) With a comparator, if the op amp’s + input is connected to aContinue reading “Analog Electronics #8”

DC Blocking, Current Limiting Circuit Why is adding a resistor and a capacitor on the inputs and outputs of your circuit a good idea? Adding a capacitor and resistor on the inputs and outputs of the circuit can help to block dangerous DC voltage from inadvertently damaging sensitive headphone or headphone jacks. Overall, adding themContinue reading “Analog Electronics Lab #5”

Oscilloscope Videos: Controls Photo: Controls of the Oscilloscope Explanation: Power: The power button, which varies in location on each oscilloscope but is generally fairly obvious, turns the oscilloscope on and off. Input Mode: The input mode controls what type of signal is visible on the screen of the oscilloscope. A ground signal will show justContinue reading “Analog Electronics Lab #4”

Soldering When you first walk up to the soldering iron…. When I first walk up to the soldering iron, I should first moisten the sponge used to clean the soldering iron, and make sure all of the equipment needed to solder (materials that are being soldered, and a device to hold up these materials ifContinue reading “Analog Electronics Lab #3”

Week #1: One of my biggest issues this week was figuring out how to effectively use the photocell. Instead of ordering the connections resistor, to photocell to LED, I connected the resistor to the LED, and the photocell separately connected to the LED without passing through the resistor. The charge from the battery that flowsContinue reading “Analog Circuit Troubleshooting Notes:”
