Analog Distortion Pedal

From analog circuit architecture to PCB fabrication and measurable audio performance.

Engineering challenge

Develop an analog distortion effect with controllable gain, clipping and frequency response.

Approach

1. Define the audio signal chain and functional requirements.
2. Simulate gain, filters and clipping stages in LTspice.
3. Design and manufacture the PCB, assemble and test.

Verification & evidence

Planned: frequency response, gain, clipping behavior and comparison with simulation.
