Henri Penttinen, HUT Acoustics G EQ

Guitar equalization:

Transforming the response of a guitar pick-up signal to a more acoustic one by using DSP algorithms.
The technique is introduced in [1] , [2] and [3].

EMF Acoustics is involved in the project and provides B-Band pick-ups that are used in the study.

Sound Examples: 1) Improving the response of the steel stringed acoustic guitar.

2) Improving the response of the nylon stringed acoustic guitar.

3) Improving the response of the electrical guitar i.e. making the electric
guitar sound like an acoustic guitar.
