Abstract

Audio signal management systems and methods are contemplated herein which can be incorporated into amplifiers and recording equipment receiving audio signals from a musical instrument. Such systems and methods allow for a smooth, natural-sounding decay of the wanted signals of the musical instrument while reducing unwanted signals of the musical instrument. An overdriven signal may be simulated and, after processing this signal, sent to a filter transistor which may receive both this processed signal and an out signal, based on the measured output signal of the musical instrument, to produce a signal to be amplified/recorded via an attenuation circuit. The filter transistor may respond dynamically to the received processed signal to create a smooth, natural-sounding decay of the wanted signals of the musical instrument. The methods and systems may incorporate additional elements including high pass filter transistors and mute circuits to remove unwanted signals and noise floor.
