Here's a notion I wanted to run by those familiar with FWR octave designs like the green ringer, foxx tone machine, and scrambler, etc. I was thinking what might happen happen by adding an envelope voltage to misbias the part of the circuit where usually there is a careful bias to make the two halves of the rectified signal equal, the goal being that the balanced octave/wave folding only happens when you pick hard, ideally when you pick soft its just a normal guitar that comes through, because the whole wave would be below the threshold where the rectifying happens. Maybe clamp the envelope voltage to a DC level that will give you that nice 50/50 rectification that nulls out the fundamental.
Something like this can help address the distressing limitation :icon_wink:with fuzzes where once your gain is all the way up, how do you go further? and how come nothing violent is happening when you play harder?
