[sdiy] Waveshaper update

[harrybissell]

LOL... in fact my experiments were with YOUR wave multiplier.  I added several
stages
and did a different type of clamp to keep the wave from 'breaking out'.   I'd
like to have
many many stages, and damn the cost. Of course it will eventually degrade,
noise-wise...
into a BBD so there you have it :^P
