Pedal Parrot: Effect Mimicking Electric Guitar Amplifier

Imagine you just went to a concert and heard the coolest guitar solo of your life. When you go home to play it yourself, it doesn’t sound the same, even after you’ve learned all the notes perfectly. The reason for this is that your guitar’s tone is different than the guitar’s tone you heard at the concert. Achieving tones discovered in this way is difficult for beginner electric guitarists because they don’t know what equipment was being used or how to configure it, and obtaining this knowledge isn’t always possible. Many solutions to this problem require access to the signal from an electric guitar’s pickup, which guitarists listening to a live performance or recording cannot easily obtain. The goal of this project was to create a tool, Pedal Parrot, that mimics the electric guitar tone heard in a recording with no specialized recording equipment and none of the equipment that created the effects heard. Pedal Parrot allows the user to provide it with a recording of a guitar’s sound and then play their electric guitar with a similar effect applied. With Pedal Parrot, you can play your electric guitar and have its tone sound similar to what you heard somewhere else.
