Analysis of a Nonlinear Overdrive System
Keywords:
overdrive, fundamental frequency, guitar signal, additional forms, signal spectrumAbstract
The article identifies the possibility of using MATLAB and Reaper programs for the analysis of nonlinear systems such as overdrive, on the example of the sound effect pedal Ibanez tube screamer. The range of functions of the Voxengo software package is indicated and a program is developed to try to repeat the overdrive effect.
