  • Publication number: 20230125554
    Abstract: An audio processing device includes: a first low-pass filter (LPF) to which an audio signal is input; a circuit to which the audio signal is input, including a first high-pass filter (HPF) and a preamplifier; a second HPF to which the audio signal is input; a second LPF to which an output signal of the circuit is input; an extractor, extracting each of an output signal of the first LPF, an output signal of the second HPF, and an output signal of the second LPF at a predetermined ratio; and a mixer, mixing the output signal of the first LPF, the output signal of the second HPF, and the output signal of the second LPF that are extracted.

  • Patent number: 11437968
    Abstract: A guitar amplifier and a control method of a guitar amplifier in which a setting of a performance mode can be easily changed without an interruption to a sound is provided. The guitar amplifier, which performs musical sound processing on an input musical sound and outputs it, includes a storage device which stores a plurality of information sets including a set value for each of one or two or more types of musical sound processing used in a performance mode, and a control device which changes the setting of the one or two or more types of musical sound processing to a setting according to a set value of a selected information set when information indicating ON of the performance mode, to which the selected information set from the plurality of information sets has been applied, is input.

  • Patent number: 11233491
    Abstract: A distortion imparting device capable of obtaining a natural distortion effect even when output is decreased is provided. The distortion imparting device includes a first amplification part which attenuates an input audio signal on the basis of an attenuation factor set by a user and amplifies the attenuated audio signal, a second amplification part serially connected to the first amplification part, and a limiting part which is connected between an output terminal of the first amplification part and an input terminal of the second amplification part and limits an input voltage of the second amplification part to a predetermined clip voltage, wherein the limiting part determines the clip voltage on the basis of the attenuation factor.
