Honestly, it didn’t go as smoothly as planned. We had issues with the circuit not working at all at first and part values not being quite right which made it sound pretty bad. With these issues in mind, I asked ChatGPT for more advice and made some changes to the circuit.
After adjusting the circuit based on Chat GPT’s recommendations, it was time to test our new and improved circuit. Still, it was way off from being a great sounding overdrive circuit. A few more adjustments recommended by ChatGPT led us to a fuzzy sound, which again, not what we were looking for in a guitar pedal overdrive.
At this point, I decided to trust my own instincts and knowledge of guitar pedals. We adjusted some things, tried some new ideas, and ended up with a sound that while not perfect, was definitely better.
So what’s the takeaway from all this? ChatGPT is a cool tool for bouncing around ideas and learning new things. But when it comes to making guitar pedals that really work, we’re not quite there yet. As AI continues to evolve, we might see more practical applications in electronic design tools like SPICE.
To all the beginner and intermediate guitar pedal builders and engineers out there: stay curious, stay creative. AI is a fun tool, but your original ideas and knowledge make your projects unique.
