How to combine AC sources

[TonYenn]

What's the right way to combine several AC sources into a single source?  Think chord on a guitar - the notes A, D, and E would have frequencies of 440, 587-ish, and 695-ish.  I want to experiment with a tone stack, and it would be nice to see a chord go through it.

edit - it looks like simply putting AC sources in series does it.  I'd delete this but I don't see how.

Hi TonYenn,

It is the simplest method specially in simulators because AC sources are simple two-terminal components. An example is shown below

In real world you can also use other techniques such as shown below:

Note: The default winding ratio of 1P1S Transformer is 10:1, this is modified to 10:10 (or 1:1) in this circuit.

Note: The amplitude of the resultant waveform is attenuated by a factor of 4.

The amplitudes of AC sources in the circuits above were all equal. You can alter them in your experiment.

Best regards,

G. Goodwin

Можно и такой аккордик нарисовать. С задержечками (как там они по-музыкальному обзываются?-канон?)
