[sdiy] Automatic gain correction for Overdrive

[Fortner Florian]

Hello everybody,

I wonder if this has ever been discussed (then please recap it for me :-P ):
How can I cope with the strong loudness change in an overdrive circuit? If
you turn up an analog Overdrive it gets far louder, so you have to play with
the volume knob all the time. Is there any common approach? One can perhaps
do it with an additional VCA, but I'd like a method where the gain reduction
can be integrated with the overdrive. If anyone ever has done this I would
be happy to hear from him!

regards,

VERY BIG FAN OF THIS GREAT LIST!!!)
