It looks like your project isn't updated. When you come on as a full mentee, we can help you with the education value added and other fields such as that. For now, just fill in the general overview for the project. If you need help, let us know!

Would it be possible for me to recover the data from the google forms? I believe I had a project overview and education added section in the form.

Im still interested in pursuing this project.

Hey Kyle,
Glad to hear! I don't have access to the google forms, unfortunately, so I can't read the description there, but I thought your project sounds cool. I really like analog audio projects. Do you have some more details about the scope of the project and the approach you want to take, as well as what you already know about analog electronics?

You can put stuff here, send me an email at [email protected], or put it on the GitHub page for your project!

I don’t know much about analog electronics at the moment. I’m taking ECE1004 so I’m getting a glimpse as to the complexities of all that stuff. In terms of scope and end goal, I would like to build a guitar amp that can take an input from my guitar, add some color to the sound through a reverb module I create, and output that sound. Id like to be able to turn the reverb on and off as well. Im not exactly sure how large I want to make the amp; it’s not going to be a colossal giant, but I want to research about whether the size of the amp cabinet effects the tone etc. I’d like to learn how to best approach project ideas like these where I’m learning how to apply skills and knowledge I don’t already have.

Cool! No worries, I just wanted to see where you were so I understood the starting point for the project. This sounds like a fun project, and you would definitely learn a lot. Projects like this are why I got into electronics and EE.
I will note that just from some cursory research, it looks like a reverb effect requires a mechanical component (spring, plate, etc.). That's probably something we could buy and incorporate into the audio chain, but not something we could easily fabricate ourselves. Distortion (fuzz) is easy to get going with simple parts we have on hand, though, and that could be the starting point for this project.

I'll figure out what the next steps are as far setting up the project is, and I'll get back to you sometime this week and then we could meet sometime to get this project rolling!

Sounds like a plan! This is super exciting! We can definitely look into distortion too. I'd love to learn how you can get a sound through a spring or plate as well.

Wonderful, looks like you all have already gotten started with the communication! I'll help @pvcostes with whatever continues steps we have to get the project on the site! Lmk if you need anything!
