Okay, another question for the techs. I've already stated my wild guess that the Harmonic Clipper circuit is basically a fuzz circuit rather than the overdrive you usually find on guitar amps. It sure sounds that way to me, the way it breaks up as a note decays. I'm thinking one of those two- or three-transistor fuzz circuits, like a Fuzz Face or a Tone Bender, cuz I sure don't see any dag-blasted ICs in there. Question: am I correct or are my ears full of $#!t? Also, on mine the HC knob basically just changes the overall volume of the fully-fuzzed signal (from quite soft to full volume) rather than the intensity of the fuzz effect itself. Is *this* a problem? Whatever it is, it is a totally wicked distortion! AFAIC it blows those weenie heavy metal amps back to the crib. I bet no one else playing the OSU campus circuit has anything like my Harmonic Clipper at their beck and call. I can't wait. regards Billy S.
