So, in looking at diagrams for overdrive/distortion boxes, there seems to be two two main ways clipping is achieved. The first being the Tube Screamer method: diodes in the negative feedback loop of an opamp, for a soft, gradual clip. The other method seems to be diodes placed after the opamp, connecting from the signal out to ground, providing a hard clip.
Why has nobody ever combined the two? I would think you could get some potentially tasty distortion sounds if you tuned the combination of these two types of clipping circuits just right to play nice with one another.
