EGFxSet: Electric guitar tones processed through real effects of distortion, modulation, delay and reverb

  • 1. Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México

Description

EGFxSet (Electric Guitar Effects dataset) features recordings for all clean tones in a 22-fret Stratocaster, recorded with 5 different pickup configurations, also processed through 12 popular guitar effects. Our dataset was recorded in real hardware, making it relevant for music information retrieval tasks on real music. We also include annotations for parameter settings of the effects we used.

More details can be found in egfxset.github.io

The dataset can also be accessed with mirdata
