<Introduction>

In the last few decades technology has constantly pushed music further and further into the digital realm. Digital technology has infiltrated all aspects of music-making, from its creation to its recording, editing and production. We have decided to join this technology movement by fitting it to our taste.

Since both of us enjoy playing the guitar, we have decided to use the Mega 32 AVR microcontroller to make a Guitar Effects Synthesizer, which allows us to use one of the following effects to make our guitars sound better: reverb, echo, distortion or tremolo.
