I saw a couple threads recently on hard and soft clipping in one pedal. fulltone is soon to release the "plimsoul" http://www.fulltone.com/stpframe.html
One thing i dont get is whats the point of hard and soft clipping together? wont it just sound soft?
UNLESS... it clips in parallel and the signals meet at the output. HMMM :icon_idea:

It better not be anything like that or I won't be a happy bunny ;D

Sounds like the clipping is probably in parallel to me like in a Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion.

Sounds like the GM Arts distortion pedal, the Cusack Screamer Fuzz, or any other number of pedals that offer soft/hard clipping or hi/lo gain options and have been around forever.
