Circuitry is provided for distorting an audio signal, useful in providing a "dirty" sound to an electric guitar simulating a vacuum tube amplification thereof. The circuit includes components for simultaneously changing the amount of distortion introduced by a clipping circuit and the amount of gain boost provided at a preselected narrow bandwidth. Addition of such gain boost leads both to increased clipping of the audio signal and to reduced frequency response, at both low and high frequencies. A separate volume control is provided for broad band gain adjustment. Independently operable control switches permit insertion or elimination of the distortion, and insertion or elimination of a brightness circuit boosting high frequency response of the circuit. |
