# Site ## Pages - [Page not found](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/404/): That page doesn't exist, or it has moved since you last looked - [Engineer a Guitar Tone](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/assessments/engineer-a-guitar-tone/): Design and justify a complete guitar-tone signal chain for a stated target sound, using the course's principles rather than "it sounds better". - [Pedal Laboratory](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/assessments/pedal-laboratory/): Change one or more variables in a simplified nonlinear pedal model, and trace the full chain from parameter change to audible consequence. - [Tone Autopsy](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/assessments/tone-autopsy/): Analyse an existing guitar sound using only what the first four weeks have covered — and say which of your claims are evidence and which are guesses. - [What Is Guitar Tone?](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-01/): Pitch, loudness, and timbre — and why two guitars can share a note but never sound the same - [The Vibrating String](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-02/): Standing waves, harmonics, and how picking position becomes an early kind of tone shaping - [From Vibration to Voltage](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-03/): How a magnetic pickup turns string motion into the electrical signal the rest of the chain works with - [The Guitar Is a Circuit](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-04/): Why passive resistors, potentiometers, and capacitors inside the guitar already start shaping tone before any pedal - [Gain, Headroom and Clipping](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-05/): What actually happens, mathematically, when an amplified signal stops behaving linearly - [Inside overdrive, distortion and fuzz](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-06/): Why circuits that all clip the same input waveform can still sound distinct from one another - [Filters, EQ and Tone Stacks](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-07/): Once a signal contains many frequencies, how a circuit reshapes its tonal balance - [Modulation: Phase, Pitch and Motion](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-08/): How continuously changing delay, phase, pitch, or amplitude creates the sensation of movement - [Delay, Reverb and Space](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-09/): How a single feedback loop produces echoes, and how the same idea scales up into the simulation of physical space - [Inside the Guitar Amplifier](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-10/): Why an amplifier is a small signal chain of its own — gain, filtering, and nonlinearity, repeated and rearranged - [Speaker, Cabinet and Air](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-11/): Why the same amplifier can sound dramatically different through different speakers and cabinets — the last physical stage before sound reaches the air - [Engineering the Complete Tone](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/lectures/week-12/): Integrating the whole semester — reasoning backwards from a target sound to a deliberately engineered signal chain - [Eric Clapton](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/people/eric-clapton/): A tutor covering the course's filtering and amplifier weeks, from a pedal's control cavity to a tube amp's staged gain. - [Jimi Hendrix](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/people/jimi-hendrix/): The founding convenor, responsible for the course's shape and its weekly teaching programme. - [John Mayer](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/people/john-mayer/): A tutor covering the course's electronics and gain-stage weeks, from the fretboard through to the amplifier's front end. - [Stevie Ray Vaughan](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/people/stevie-ray-vaughan/): A tutor covering the course's modulation, delay, and cabinet weeks, and the practical work that follows the first review. - [Getting started](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/sessions/01-getting-started/): Setting up a listening environment and the toolchain the rest of the course's demonstrations run on - [First review](https://comp4020-agentic-coding-studio.github.io/comp4020-ass2-Asuka121380/sessions/02-first-review/): A first look at spectral analysis on a real recorded sound, ahead of Tone Autopsy
