No, not a synthesizer. Just a means of altering the harmonic mix of an overdriven signal. To have control over its timbre, which depending on the harmonic mix may be more like, to give some examples, a Fuzzface, or a Randall RG80, or a Pearce G1, or a G-K 2100SEL, or....pick an amp with a distinctive overdrive tonality. Because it's the combination of harmonics that gives each overdrive circuit its character, that and also post-overdrive equalization. The goal of this would be to alter the character of the sound of the overdrive/distortion. Not to turn it into a synthesizer. Just to , for example, pull a harsh harmonic out of the sound while retaining sweet sounding harmonics. Or the reverse, if you're seeking a particularly nasty tone.
