Read the first article in this series: Pedal effect circuit design: Getting started. Low-power, tube-like pedal effects can now be yours with a simple JFET circuit. The LSK489, in a common-source ...
An engineer asked me for help when he encountered what appeared to be strange phenomenon while testing a prototype circuit in the system. He saw “mysterious” clipping distortion of the signal at the ...
Take three rare Soviet-era germanium diodes, add a band-pass filter, and there you have it, the recipe for a limited edition hard-clipping distortion like no other, the Distortion Filter D312A When ...
Clipping shapes your guitar tone by altering signal strength saturation and harmonic content. This video explains how clipping affects distortion sustain clarity and overall sound character. Perfect ...
I recently had to explain two kinds of signal distortion, clipping and crossover, as they apply to class-B amplifiers. It ran like this. A typical class-B amplifier is made up of two halves, one of ...
