This report follows the development of the effect from the initial concept to a hardware based prototype. The purpose of developing a prototype unit is largely one of concept validation. The possibility exists to commercialise the effect, therefore the development of a prototype gives the opportunity to identify many of the requirements of the production unit. Through the exploration of the effect with computer modelling, a more focused real-time implementation has been possible using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. The final result is a stand-alone effect unit with extensive controls that can process a guitar signal in real-time to deliver a wide variety of audio transformations which are based on the Reversed Delay.enThe AuthorPrototypes, EngineeringSignal processing|xDigital techniques|xEquipment and suppliesImplementation of a prototype reversed delay guitar effect : a research report presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Engineering in Information Engineering at Massey University, Palmerston North, New ZealandThesisQ112858807https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q112858807
