radio signals?

[slotbot]

HI!

I was wondering if anyone knew a simple circuit i could through into my circuit that would pick up radio signals or create that static sound easily? i know this is the opposite of what people normally want but im trying to create an effect that will sound like your playing on an untuned radio by mixing the guitar signal with static fuzz.

any ideas welcome.

thanks

scott.

Try a Jordan Bosstone - really loud dist pedal and a fine AM receiver to boot.

No specific circuits that I'm aware of.

attenuate the signal to buggery, then amplify the hell out of it so you get it with noise almost at the same level. Some compression maybe?

then, filter it at 300Hz and 3kHz, or even narrower.

You could build a simple AM radio that's centred just outside of the band so it only ever picks up static. Then mix it with your filtered guitar. That'll sound more "genuine" than just white noise.

Google "AM detector"... lots of simple circuits out there.
