I was referencing his “working on other priorities atm” bit. I should have limited the quote to that.I think @∞Fractals was referring to how diode clipping works.

No worries. I could have been clearer. I think Steve Jobs once said something like “Customers don’t know what they want till you show it to them.” When it comes to the Axe, that would sum me up about right. Really just kinda idly curious about what could be next.Ah, my bad...sorry.
You haven't been here long enough to see the cycle:Haha. Not suggesting he stop but curious what could be next.

Everything sounds great. Couldn't get better.
Cliff has an epiphany. Everything sounds better.
Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
What does clipping sound like?
Break up... a distortion?
Most "clean" sounds are not very clean...So in context if a clean tone is desired... then clipping is not desired. But in a drive block we want some sort of clipping.
So there are sine waves, and amplitude of these waves being reduced and amplified to reduce clipping... unless you want clipping...
If your amp design is high gain... it's the same? Clipping.
I'm just not sure when and were I want clipping. I want to achieve clarity and tone in the amp and add clipping via a drive block or is clipping a nasty thing?

Maybe a link to some content?You guys should go read at www.diystompboxes.com. Lots to learn regarding this and other circuits
I haven't read the whole thing, but did find some info about diodes and the types of clipping involved. Thanks.
But stringing them together in series raises their combined clip level tolerance, so less clipping.
