In this video I will be showing you how I experimented with a couple of different oscillators in order to create electrically generated music with my guitar. I will talk about a function generator, a summing amplifier, voltage controlled oscillators and a 555 timer circuit before I will build the open source Arduino pedalShield project in order to create some proper guitar effects. Let's get started!

You are always my inspiration and a good teacher... love you jeremy pascal.. 😍😍😍
Please make electric guitar!!!
Great! 😀can u tell me if is 500F 2.7 v capacitor dangerous? How mouch amps it can deliver?
Please make tutorial video esp32
You might want to try my preamp design with iRig and an amp simulator application: ruclips.net/video/seAWNUCo-G4/видео.html
I liked the sounds of your "failures." They would be great in the electronic music I enjoy.
I'd say to check out the chanel "LOOK MUM, NO COMPUTER". he does a lot of analog synths as well as having made a furby organ. Might find more fun tunes there.
@@nicktobeck6687 That is an excellent suggestion. I've been subscribed to him for years. Very entertaining and educational. I enjoy mods.
Yes
Trash? You enjoy trash?
@@EndOfLineTech I want to make a bad joke about your mom, but I don't think that would be appropriate. Noise in it's appropriate context is a great thing. For example: Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada....
Since you're into music now, how about making Tesla coil guitar amplifier?
damn, then he will be called as "God Of Thunder" instead of GreatScott!!
That's a nice idea actually
He already did an arc amplifier, moving it one step up sounds interesting for sure.
"tesla coil sound amplifier" Is that even possible?!
this idea need Electroboom 😄👍
electroboom's electric guitar sounds way better....
Yes the sound was awesome
*Beeping intersifies*
AAAAIIIIICHHHHH!!!
Yeah, he sound a lot more like a rock star XD
@@mr.coolio4321 like.. Fa... Fa...fa.... Fa..... Fa.... Fa... Fa..... 🤣🤣✌️✌️✌️

:v
I wish he did this😂😂
DIY!😀
👍
Wtf 🤣
You should build a Amplifier Board that overdrives an vacuum tube.
There is a project like that that uses a fairly small amount of components and can be point-to-point wired to the tube socket. Actual tube amps will require you to deal with voltages upwards of 600v on the power tubes.
I can put it on my to do list :-)
@@greatscottlab yassssssssssssssssss
How big is that list?
I was just designing a tube guitar amp circuit when I saw that video
What about a collaboration with LookMumNoComputer?
Just think of the crazy things these two could come up with!
I will have to look this channel up
And Hainbach, and Simon the Magpie...The result would be a black hole.
@@greatscottlab I also recommend Look Mum No Computer. You should build a modular synth!
I like that you show your failed tries. They are part of the whole process from the first idea to the finished product, and they contain the chance to learn lessons.
Buckminster Fuller once said (at least I am told he did so) _There are no failed experiments, there are only experiments with an unexpected outcome._
6:25 "how does it sound" ears get destroyed
lmao xD
Oh no don't let him do the forbidden riff

No, he needs to know them. How else are we supposed to troll music shop staff?

Congrats for picking up the guitar, I hope you keep playing! Learning an instrument is never easy.
Thanks, will do!
Cant wait for you to make your own fuzz pedal with 555 timers and a relay
So multi-talented! Thank you for being so real & vulnerable, sharing the entirety of your process failures and successes, in that I felt very connected to your content. I could relate. Thank you as well for sharing your musical journey. I really enjoyed this!
for acoustic guitars, it's really creative if you could apply a reverb effect. It's the most difficult effect to simulate. Analog circuits would wither use springs or bucket brigade circuits, but digital techniques are also difficult since a lot of code is involved.
love you man.... I always wanted this channel to grow since the beginning as your work was so professional. when I visited this channel for the first time it had already a BIG 171k subs family and in around 5 years thinks are changed and as I wanted.... this channel will now surpass 1.5M subs. I don't know why but this makes me so Happy and emotional.
keep educating us and keep growing ✌
Wow, thanks
Start a modular synth (eurorack)! It's so much fun to DIY!
hi there fellow synth nerd! i came here to say the same thing. modular rules!
Ah yes and it's really easy to learn!
Nice Work, I am also wondering what music has to do with electronics😂😂
It starts up with electric pickups and ends up in frequencies and faraday cages
Actually how they first came up with guitar pedal sound deformation was a blown tube transistor and they liked the way it sounded.
Laute Musik und Nachbarn in Deutschland das kann nur gut gehen 😂😂

7:30 I think that Just lowering the volume of the guitar or attenuating the output a little would solve the problem, it sounds interesting really wanted to hear it not clipping.
It’s not clipping, it’s frequency modulating the signal onto a square wave. That’s why it sounds so strange. But even if you were to change the waveform it wouldn’t sound significantly different than before.
@@schefre35 I noticed when he played lighter it sounded right, but with a warmer signal in the chords the signal got all mangled, I still believe that if he started with a clean atenuated signal and amplified it in the output it would sound better, or maybe cut half of the wave would help too
AmazinChannel That’s how frequency modulation works, he didn’t play anything in the beginning (for a fraction of a second), and that’s why we could hear a (somewhat) pleasant tone.
@@schefre35 2 different notes? If it was Just one I would agree with you but no, when he gets to the higher notes it mangles, that's why I sugested a flip flop to lower the guitar frequency so the modulator has more time to work, or simply work with half a wave.
Oh he sounded so enthusiastic in this video, specially at the outro. Nice to see that you expanded your passions and were able to integrate them, stay creative ;)
Good Work😎
Ja, dit projecti is leuk! Dankje Scott vor de video geupload.
Love to see you go into sound and synth DIY!
Your final version sounded really nice.
Awesome, dude! Your gathering together 2 of my favorite subjects. And I would suggest that you'd built it inside a metal box, which keeps your circuit from having too much noise
You can even shield the plastic box too
How are you so good at everything? You are genius level smart, funny, handsome, bilingual, and now you can make awesome guitar pedals!? I thought I was a straight, but I'm not so sure anymore. You are an impressive human and I would love to see more guitar effects from you! That's the whole reason I wanted to learn about electronic engineering!
Your channel just gets better and better. Jonathan in Seattle.
If you are a guitarist and you want all the effects but for the price of only one pedal, I highly recommend the Boss GT-1.
I personally use it.
Ugg, when you mount panel switches, you put a nut on the back of the panel and use that to tighten it up with. You adjust the front nut by hand, to make it appear how you want. If you tighten the back nut, you don't take a chance on damaging the panel.
How to make use of the open source or free resources simply help a lot, and reduce lot of duplicated effort, and it's fun to learn.

wait until he mentions EasyEDA
I got a JLCPCB ad halfway through the video instead!
6:30 i think you accidentally made something that could be used to make phonk music :D i think 7:26 could work for this too :D
You keep on ROCKin, my friend. Love your efforts to find a great solution to complex/electronic needs. Bravo.
PLEASE! Finding guitar effects videos is so hard and you make it so easy to understand!
This channel is getting more extensive. Electronic, motoring and music. Good job 👍. Keep it up !
I'll be making that simple 555 timer circuit and putting it on my pedalboard, never even thought about using a 555 like that, but it sounds really inetersting and I love it!
Excellent
As a guitarist myself and loving electronics, I found this really interesting!
Check Look Mum No Computer. He does a lot more of these kind of projects. Even making moog synths.
Sane here i love music and electronics
same*
Awesome :-)
scott is multi talented he has his an amazing greenhouse awesome electronics and look here amazing skills to play instruments fabulous job scott...
Not only a great engineer 👩🏻💻 but a new skilled guitar 🎸 player! Congratulations!
Thank you for the mention. ☺️✌️
No problem 😊
I've built several of your projects. Awesome stuff.
GreatScott, One of my favorite guitar effects pedal to use and to make is the chorus pedal. It's simple but the effect is dramatic. I suggest you could use PT2399 delay pedal, and modulate one of its pins to create a chorus pedal or use the old analog 'bucket brigade' ICs (80s tech) which creates a more pleasing sound.
this was how I started with elctronics..by playing the guitar and assembling guitar pedals... Now I'm an engineer, I don't play the guitar nor make pedals anymore but I always remember my past. Passion and excellence.
My mans learned guitar, awesome!! Keep it up my guy
OMG! Yesssssssssssss! Please do more videos of electronics in music
Legends say that Great Scott made this video just to flex on his newly acquired Guitar skills.
I used the same model as your fishman amplifier as a setup to remotely annoy people at my school. I had it hooked up to a computer I could access with a Remote Desktop client in a classroom used for extracurricular activities
Congratulations 🎉🎉 in advance for 1.5M subscription ♥️

This combination of
Electronic , Physic , music and of playing musical instrument is Awesome.
Your handwriting is kinda satisfying
Thanks :-)
Good to see a video with your face ... All the videos I've watched just show your hands or what you're working on 😁👍 And where is your accent from? Keep making videos, they are all very helpful
As a guitarist, I can say your progress is really good
Thanks :-)
Awesome video/project. I love doing electronics projects in the fall and winter.
Pretty cool how you bent pin one so you could solder something to it, instead of having to insert it into a socket.
That scribbling also looks beautiful 2 my eyes😊😊
Great vid. I'd love to see you get into Eurorack modular. One of your videos on designing and building a micro controller eurorack module would be brilliant! I'm not a guitarist, but you should check out the Zoia Pedal.
I've been developing a synth on and off for two years now. It's wonderful fun. :) Best if luck in the rest of your techno-musician journey
"Lets get started! " that's so satisfying
That was the most emotional "and I will see you next time" he ever did
nice working
Congratulations on your swift progress learning to play guitar! Sounds like you have some natural talent.
I know that your go-to solution is "Let's use an Arduino and whack in some code!" but it would be interesting to compare your DSP efforts against traditional analog effects. You teased us early in the video with an exponential converter using 2 op amps and a couple transistors...
5:20 you could have used a diode to generate harmonics hence multiplying the signals, and a capacitor as a low-pass filter, It will sound robotic but cool. a kind of AM modulation.
Wow! It really sounds fantastic! 😮
Great job, dude!!! 😃
Stay safe there! 🖖😊
The 555 timer sounds awesome
Your 555 synth sounded amazing! Its not a failure!
Ooohh scott you're getting better at guitar
I built the Arduino Mega version of that effects pedal. It was then I realized that the 5 ultra-cheap Chinese Mega clones ($12) I bought had absolutely zero analog side capacitors for filtering. Needless to say the noise of this solution was more than I could tolerate. I expect a genuine Arduino Mega would have sounded much better. Even with the Mega's extra memory (8KB) over the Nano you used the amount of memory is a really a serious limitation for any type of reverb/echo effects. It is however fun to experiment so I don't regret the time I spent building the effects pedal.
I’ve learnt so so much from you over the years and this is the first time I’ve actually seen your face!
Sounds great dude!
Put a low-pass filter at about 700hz on that 555 solution, and it sounds like a pretty good distortion effect. Might steal that for my ukulele
Consider using an STM32 for it. It is big fast and mean. You can even add an HID USB interface with it no external chip needed! Looking forward to it.
Just for your own curiosity you should look up what some Fuzz pedals do to audio signal. It's simple, but to me there is something so crazy about completely 'blowing out' audio frequencies to get a new sound.
I got new soldering iron that can heat up to 480°c, thanks for your soldering guide, im practicing my soldering skill
You astound me. Your English has improved so much over the years!
Thanks
I'm a guitarist of many decades and my interest in electronics is primarily about guitar. A couple of your "failures" sounded great. I would love to try your accidental ring modulator and 555 fuzz.
rad to see more music instrument stuff!
As a Dutchman I found it very funny your first guitar clip was about you, a German guy, playing _seven nation army". In the Netherlands, the exact part of the song you played is normally drowned out by drunk people shouting a not that German-friendly (nor politically correct) text.
can you make a video about full bridge class d audio amplifiers?!
Next, Mehdi's (electroboom) electric guitar
That sounded great! I bet deadmou5 would be interested in it
i recommend checking out the Spin FV-1. it's more optimized for making digital audio effects than an arduino, and has all sorts of useful stuff built in (delay lines, echo buffers, LFOs, envelope generators, ect.)
as for building a synth pedal in particular, i'd recommend starting with a PLL based design like the schumann multiplier divider and adding stuff like an envelope filter, a binary counter-based octaver, using a re-triggered 555 to do PWM waveforms, ect. in the world of guitar pedals it's more common to use parts of existing designs and mash them together than to create a design from complete scratch.
perfect
Your second attempt turned into a ring mod pedal. It can be really fun if you have the ability to tune it.
Awesome video. Well done.
well the analog was fail because you wanted to mix 2 signals instead of modulating the input signal, indeed the signal should be an mix of modulation and input signal, if you look at any modules you got "wet" and "dry" signal which you add both of them and you modify amplitude, volume and frequency of it, plus if you looking for reverb, you need some sort of storage for the signal to be repeated.
That Tremelo could be done with a simple light sensitive diode and NE555 with some smoothing caps on its output to round the shape. Of create a simple single transistor oscillator.
Wow i have a guitar i will try this soon
I think you should revisit failures 2 and 3; you may have been closer to success than you realize. The output sounded overmodulated and/or clipped. Try dialing back intermediate amplitudes to stay within range of downstream components.
I suggest you look into videos on Native Instruments Reaktor. It's basically a fully modular software synth, but from your point of view it is more like electrics simulator. Oscillators, filters and all that, but virtually. You can use that to inspire yourself what to build.
this is awesome man
The pwm modulation effect sounded good though ☺️
U could use DAW (digital audio workstation) like
Fl studio
Ableton are all daws
It has many plugins such as synthesizer etc.
"that unlike my attempts, do not suck"
I can definitely relate there. a hundred failures for a single success. lol
Just an idea here:
Get the input from guitar to convert the frequency of the note to a certain amount of voltage in a rate of 1v/octave (this is like a standard in modular analog synths) and then feed the pin 1 of signal generator. The output of generator will feed a VCA (Made with a transconductance OpAmp like CA3080) The guitar input signal envelope will control the gain of VCA. The output can be mixed with the original signal or still pass through a VCF.
Parasit, ElectroSmash, and GreatScott! all in one video. Hurray!
The best!
The version with the 555 timer sounded pretty cool, to be honest
By the way Scott, thanks for all of your electronics lesson. 🥰
That's the first time I ever got to actually see you. I thought you were a bit older based on your knowledge. You blow me away with your knowledge of electronics, you really do. How old were you when you bought your first oscilloscope, ...6? Cool vid, thanks. Can you run a microphone through it?
A really good approach in fail and success! If you want more, perhaps you try out a midi interface for your guitar and feed it to LMMS? It was great fun with my epiano but should work with guitars as well.
Welcome to the wonderful world of guitar pedals. :)
