As you guys know I along with the other member of the tech team installed a SSL duality this past week. unfortunately there are no schematics that came with the console. Not surprised there as ssl has a different idea when it comes to servicing a board these days. Not a bad thing at all. But I am curious about there variable harmonic drive circuit and how they are mimicking harmonic valve distortion.
what it is: it's part of the mic pre that emulates the characteristics of a classic valve front end but with option to taylor the harmonic mix(put that goes btween 2nd and 3rd order harmonics) when the preamp is overdriven via the Drive Control.
I would think they are just clipping an op ap or 2 but that would sound gross where as this sounds interesting. any ideas?
found a patent for solid state emulation of valves/vacuum tubes. maybe we can think some ideas here?
