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 ...

It has been described by its creator as “mutt” of a distortion pedal, a all original circuit that has been in development for eight years, and it might well offer stiff competition the RAT, DS-1 or ...

Crazy Tube Circuits has announced the Motherload, a compact pedal that combines all-analog circuits inspired by classic fuzz and distortion pedals, the Electro-Harmonix Big Muff and Pro Co Rat. The ...

It’s an understatement that [Troy] is not impressed with the distortion circuitry built into this guitar amp. He picked it up for $40 on Kijiji (basically local classified ads run by eBay) so he ...

When we think about signals and systems, we often do so with an emphasis on creating and transmitting signals with specific characteristics. That is, we want the signal to have some desired amplitude, ...

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 ...

New operational amplifiers optimized for high-performance audio and ultrasound applications combine extremely low total harmonic distortion plus noise (THD+N), -130 dB, with large output voltages on ...

At one time, almost all electrical loads were linear — those that weren't made up such a small portion of the total that they had little effect on electrical system operation. That all changed, ...
