it does clip the lower lobe of a triangle however.
This is interesting.
i'd like to understand why, but in the meantime implementing
similar behaviour is not that hard. :)
So the SPICE sims have helped. Great! I know that
SPICE is the cat's meow
for electronic/electrical design problems, which is where I've used it in the
past. It's just not quite fast enough to do real-time effects processing,
even on current hardware.
yep, it's a great program, and in true grand old unix spirit,
it hides behind an unfriendly and fiendish interface. ;)
judging from execution times on this box, you'd probably need
something like a recent 32-way cluster to run a whole amp sim
in realtime.
