Guitar Amplifier Design
For my design study I have decided to create a software version of the Line 6 Flextone III guitar amplifier. Although designing the modules that create the actual guitar tone is out of the scope of this project (any electrical/audio engineers around??) my design will model the core behaviour of this marvellous piece of equipment.
The Flextone III is a digital modelling amp which means that it uses digital methods to imitate a wide range of different amplifiers that are available on the market today. It's a jack of all trades!
The amp allows you to choose from 16 different amp models with each model having a primary (yellow) mode and a secondary (red) mode. It also allows you to choose from 16 different speaker cabinet models. The speaker cabinet selection allows you to choose what sort of speakers the currently selected amp model sound like it's being played through. The Flextone III gives you 4 different channels A, B, C and D which it allows you to save your selected settings on.
