UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF:-

MR. MANOJ KUMAR SINGH
 AIM & OBJECTIVES

 To make a distortion pedal.

 To make a guitar tuner using Atmega 328.

 WHAT IS DISTORTION?

 Technically distortion is a noise or disturbance produced in a

circuit.
 But the inclusion of a distorted sound on a electric guitar
gave its music a new dimension.
 This distorted music can be introduced by the use of a
distortion pedal.
 What is Tuning ?

 A guitar usually has a six note tuning for the six strings on
it.
 “E A D G B E” these six notes attain to six different
frequencies.
 The guitar is plugged into the tuner then each string is
played one at a time.
 Then according to the frequency of the string the tuner
indicates one among the six notes and ‘the sharpness or the
flatness’ of the note.
 The string is then Tightened or Loosened accordingly
 STANDARD TUNING

 The input frequencies according to the standard tuning.

 E - 82.4 Hz

 A - 110 Hz

 D - 146.8 Hz

 G - 196 Hz

 B - 246.9 Hz

 E - 329.6 Hz

 How distortion is produced

 In this circuit basically the sound is produce because of

resistors .
 So basically the resistor are the controlling the amount of
sound produce in the circuit either by increasing or
decreasing the value of resistance of the resistors used the
circuit of distortion pedal.
 The diodes in a distortion pedal are what make a distortion
pedal a distortion pedal that means that they are the
elements in circuits which make the distortion.
 BENEFITS OF MAKING THIS PROJECT

 DISTORTION PEDAL.  TUNER

 Simple circuit.  Different approaches
 Very cheap. used.
 Always required for stage  Cheap
performances.  Durable
