A polyphonic tuner pedal
A DIY polyphonic guitar tuner pedal. With it you can check the tuning of all the strings with a single strum, saving you time when you need it most. Very useful for playing live!
This work has been developed by Sergio Sánchez as his Bachelor's Thesis, with David Estevez as his advisor. The Thesis itself can be downloaded here (in Spanish).
A preeliminary study of the guitar signal to decide the best analysis technique for the pedal. This study was made in Matlab and the sources for the study can be found in the MATLAB Analysis folder. A software implementation of the polyphonic tuner to…
