Abstract

An object of the present invention is to obtain musical tones being equivalent to those of an acoustic guitar with a hollow body with only an electric guitar with a solid body. For the sake of attaining this object, the effecting system according to the present invention is composed of an absolute value detecting means for detecting absolute values of musical tone signals in response to oscillations of the strings, a delay time setting means for setting a delay time based on the absolute values detected by the above described absolute value detecting means, and a delay means for delaying the above described musical tone signals by the delay time which was set by the above described delay time setting means.
