aron	Distortion 101 where is the mini-booster? I think it's missing in the distortion section.... http://www.geofex.com/effxfaq/distn101.htm if it's this: "Common Source JFET This has been the basis of some experimental devices in the DIY area. Well designed JFET CS stages generate only second order harmonics in the linear range, but who knows about clipped? I have seen postings that say that a well-designed JFET common source stage produces clipping very similar to tubes.. " We better say, yeah, it's really darn good! Aron
