[sdiy] Mixing a Clipped fuzz-signal and source signal question

[harry bissell]

Hi Jon

You can do this with no problem...
as long as the square wave and the
original signal have the same
phase, they will add.

You might want to try other fuzz circuits
first. The fuzz-face clips very hard
(low amplitude) and might not be the best
choice for bass...
