Hey gents/ladies,
I'm just wondering if there is an analog way of taking an arbitrary input signal and generating a sine or square wave of it's fundamental frequency. I was thinking of using something like a PLL, but I've not really used one before, so I don't know if they are suited towards this kind of task or are usable in the audio range (not talking MHz here) or without another reference from which to be compared against.
Basically I'd like to take an instrument input (a guitar, keyboard, etc) and get a basic sine or square wave out the other end that is matched in frequency of the input. Tracking quality doesn't have to be awesome, a little glitchy may be a cool sound.
Yet another idea in my custom guitar pedalboard project.
