Abstract
The present invention is a guitar control system, with level indicators, and an application for an electronic device. The guitar control system may be retrofitted to already existing guitar rig components, or the guitar control system may be integrated into new guitar rig components. The level indicator contains multiple LED lights that light up to show where to position knobs on the guitar rig component to achieve a desired tone. The desired tone may be saved by a user, or the desired tone may be downloaded from a database of existing tones.
Claims16
A method executed by a guitar control application executable on a computing device, the method comprising:
- displaying at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- prompting a user to select one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- receiving, from the user, a selection of one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- and
- in response to the selection, displaying a guitar control configuration associated with the selected guitar control configuration selection.
A computing device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices, the one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices containing program code executable by the one or more processors via the one or more memories to implement a method, the method comprising:
- displaying at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- prompting a user to select one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- receiving, from the user, a selection of one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- and
- in response to the selection, displaying a guitar control configuration associated with the selected guitar control configuration selection, comprising at least one level indicator.
A system comprising:
- a guitar comprising a body, at least one control, and at least one level indicator, further comprising at least one light, a communication module, and a control module, wherein each of the at least one light corresponds to a position of a control of the guitar, wherein the at least one control and the at least one level indicator are disposed on the body, and the at least one level indicator is associated with at least one position of the at least one control;
- and
- at least one guitar rig component comprising at least one guitar rig component, comprising a housing, at least one control, and at least one level indicator, further comprising at least one light, a communication module, and a control module, wherein each of the at least one light corresponds to a position of a control of at least one guitar rig component, wherein the at least one control and the at least one level indicator are disposed on the housing, and the at least one level indicator is associated with at least one position of the at least one control;
- and
- a computing device comprising a guitar control application, the guitar control application being configured to:
- display at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- prompt a user to select one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- receive, from the user, a selection of one of the at least one guitar control configuration selection;
- and
- in response to the selection, send a guitar control configuration associated with the selected guitar control configuration selection, to the at least one level indicator, the communication module of the at least one level indicator designed to receive the at least one configuration, and wherein the control module is designed to read the at least one configuration, and the control module is designed to light up the at least one light based on the at least one configuration.
