Hi Stephan,
I don't disagree with Robert's formula at all. I'm simply saying it doesn't
apply. In a real implementation, you clip the signal as soon as you get outside
of the portion of the polynomial curve you're using. And that happens very
quickly. (Sure, you could say that you'll use a
well, i dunno how many real-world implementation[s] use the integral
of (1-x^2)^N or (1-x^N)^2 (the former was my proposal and the latter is
Stephan's idea). Nigel says it doesn't apply because his premise is
that he'll be clipping the polynomial anyway, so i presume the case for
doesn't
Not to Robert so much, but for anyone who hasn't thought too deeply about
guitar amps, maybe it's helpful to look at what you're up against.
It's the extremely wide useful range of the distortion that fundamental to the
issue. You want things to warm up a little with some mild overdrive. For a
