That is good information; I'll look around and see what I can find....
-
That sounds like it might be useful for extending the "range" of a single channel amp, and so avoid needing both high and low gain channels. In...

That makes sense. The germanium diode is faster because of higher charge carrier mobility, and I was thinking that might give lower resistance as well, but...

Exactly. If you make the clipping threshold too low it is hard to adjust for clean. And you do not want to lose that gradual transition between clean and...

Good idea! Maybe use enough in series to match in voltage the two silicon diodes in series for a good comparison. I took a look at some of the physics to...

Please do try it; I think you will like it, and you could find some improvements! I was aware that the original signal is added to the distorted signal...

Thanks!
I do not hear any difference in the clean tone. That probably just means that the component values close enough so that the restoration...

More useful distortion from a second stage that is preceded by a gain control
Suppose we have an amp with a gain control after the first stage, enabling adjustment of distortion in the second stage from clean and on up. The goal is...

If the field is stronger, then the distance along the string from over the center of the pole piece (zero magnetization) to where saturation happens decreases....

Also, magnetization level and permeability are not completely independent. Wind a strat pickup with unmagnetized A5; measure the inductance. Magnetize...

The component of the magnetic field from the permanent magnet(s) pointing along the string is what counts mostly. With two magnets I would expect this to...

Right, any material that produces a strong enough field produces string saturation. Alnico was the first material to make this relatively easy to do....

Look toward the bottom of the Electrosmash article. The overall frequency response is shown on both linear and log frequency scales, although not, IMO, as...

It is the permanent field component along the string that produces most of the string magnetization, and the direction of the magnetization changes, passing...

RG Keen's Description of Tube Screamer Functionality
I have not been able to locate any recent activity from RG, and so I will start a general discussion. In his description of the tube screamer circuit (h...

Calculating the theoretical Q from inductance, DCR and frequency doesn't make much sense because that definition is not adequate for pickups with steel or...

When I measure the complex impedance of a pickup at hundreds of frequencies at once, I can identify a region at low frequencies where the imaginary part...

For a stacked humbucker the mutual inductance is negative because the flux from the bottom of the top coil enters the top of the bottom coil, but they are...

Coil geometry affects inductance, especially with low permeability cores. A more tightly wound (and thus more compact) coil could have less inductance, everything...

Getting good results with an inexpensive printer requires some experimentation and can be frustrating at times. I think the most difficult part of the process...
