Just did some quick simulations.
With or without *diodes* the waveform is identical?
With 100k Drain R's the circuit will be asymetrical anyway, So I don't quite get it.
A tad confusing artical to read.
Also all those pedals have Cabsim inbuilt and judging by the clips at *AMT* those cabsims are in use the whole time. I admit it does sound good.
(JCM 800 very nice)
*mensur*,
can I ask, was there a point to this post?
Have I missed the point? LOL.
IMO Any dist will sound more convincing through a good cabsim.
Having built whole Fet preamp circuits with 3SK30A Fets running from 37VDC I will simply say that there not all they are cracked up to be.
The best use I found for Fets was the mu booster type pedal Which I still use BTW.
Cheers Phil.
