Guitar frequencys

[Narcosynthesis]

for ths project i intend making (check my other posts) i will need to split up the bass and treble frequencys of my guitar...

but i dont actually know what frequencys a guitar works over...

so between what frequencys would the bass side of the guitar be (including about 3/4 mids) and what frequencys would the treble side be (also including about 3/4 mids) it would probably be best to go a bit bassier on the bass side (in case of drop tuning or anything) and probably a bit higher on the trble side.

much thanks

Low E on a guitar is about 80 Hz. When I designed my bass/treble splitter, I set the cutoff at about 180 Hz so that it starts to fade out the bass above the first octave of the guitar. You'll need 24 dB/octave filters to get a good effect.

Hi.  The middle A on the guitar (2 frets up on the G string) is a good separator of low-mids and highs.  It is at 440Hz.  I agree with the other poster that around 150 Hz separates the bass from the mids.  The open A string is somewhere near it at 220 Hz.

cheers

I believe that open A string is actually arround 110Hz, 440Hz is the second octave...

Frequencies for open strings:

E = 82.41 Hz
A = 110.00 Hz
D = 146.83 Hz
G = 196.00 Hz
B = 246.94 Hz
E = 329.63 Hz

To rise one octave, frequency needs to double

The highest harmonic a guitar will produce is around 3kHz, the open low E is 82.41Hz
