chaos theory for beginners

8/24/2000 3:33 PM
jacques	chaos theory for beginners allright you asked for it. let us start simple. take the best physician in the world specailized in mechanic. ask him to calculate where will exactly stop a standard mercedes S500 when braking 100% at 80mph. he would find a wrong answer from the exact experiment measurment. why? too much factors and some chaotics (mathematically speaking) such as tire/road friction, force of the foot of the driver,wind,very small rocks (thanks to monthy python) etc... I have seen this experiment made by french polytechnic school, that can easily compare to MIT, with my own eyes. and you, men of tiny faith, will not believe that the way components are put together in an electronic device, will not change such a psychoacoustic mistery which is 'good distortion'? consider this: -PCB abilities to create capacitances -thickness of the wires relation with treble -proximity of signal from DC -size of the caps relation with bass -electrons good or bad circulation in solder points -ground organization on faraday shielding -different ways, for each ref of transistor, to go into distortion. -etc... and besides, even if you still do not believe, remember my site is about my vintage collection I love to share with people all around the world and my pedal is only a backseat for it. considering my site as commercial would be like thinking fighters in pro wrestling do that because they really hate eachother. viva germanium !!! jacques

chaos theory for beginners

allright you asked for it.
let us start simple.
take the best physician in the world specailized in mechanic.
ask him to calculate where will exactly stop a standard mercedes S500 when braking 100% at 80mph.
he would find a wrong answer from the exact experiment measurment.
why?
too much factors and some chaotics (mathematically speaking) such as tire/road friction, force of the foot of the driver,wind,very small rocks (thanks to monthy python) etc...
I have seen this experiment made by french polytechnic school, that can easily compare to MIT, with my own eyes.
and you, men of tiny faith, will not believe that the way components are put together in an electronic device, will not change such a psychoacoustic mistery which is 'good distortion'?
consider this:
-PCB abilities to create capacitances
-thickness of the wires relation with treble
-proximity of signal from DC
-size of the caps relation with bass
-electrons good or bad circulation in solder points
-ground organization on faraday shielding
-different ways, for each ref of transistor, to go into distortion.
-etc...

and besides, even if you still do not believe, remember my site is about my vintage collection I love to share with people all around the world and my pedal is only a backseat for it.
considering my site as commercial would be like thinking fighters in pro wrestling do that because they really hate eachother.
