Trying to wrap my head around the optimum design for a sustaining device for guitar.
What would be the best arrangement (material/magnet wise) for the following...
Think of (loosely) a guitar pickup...permanent magnet on the bottom, a coil with a steel core. This results in a 'throw' (for want...
So I made a guitar sustainer (basically an AC electromagnet, with a permanent magnet on the bottom top pull the strings down in the absence of any AC signal going through the coil) - it works ok but the driver coil/core gets extremely hot ...especially at high frequency (frequency range is up to...
Hi there,
I'm wanting to build a guitar sustainer....this device uses a driver to keep the string vibrating (essentially a guitar pickup in reverse)...ie you feed the guitar's normal pickup output signal into the driver coil & it 'stimulates' the string via magnetism.
There's plenty of threads...
