Abstract
Electrical circuitry for varying the relative distinctiveness between the lead and rhythm audio signals produced by an electrical guitar, or the like, according to the strength with which the musician picks the guitar strings. The rhythm signal is compressed in response to how hard the player strums or picks the guitar, while the lead signal is expanded as a direct function of rhythm signal compression. An electrical signal is generated from the rhythm signal for controlling the extent of compression and expansion of the audio signals.
