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

Jim	I'd say it is covered in that section. It is a common source fet amplifier except with a semi-constant current source for a drain load instead of a resistor. The statement about it generating only 2nd order harmonics is incorrect, though the 2nd will be the strongest.     Jim

R.G.	--sigh-- more to write...
