"Actually, I left the "down" side 100 ohm alone, lifted the ground side of the "up" 100 ohm, and put a 470uF cap to ground on the former ground side. It's AC, not DC grounded.  
 
This has the effect that the diodes are now much more sensitive to the control current, and it becomes a control current, not arguably a control voltage. "
 
 
Assuming that my observation in my last post is correct, I like this. This would provide some asymetrical clipping due to the added series 100ohms on the bottom side.  
 
You could actually place a trimpot between the diode and the 470uF cap to have a variable clipping symetry.
