[sdiy] simple voltage controlled clipper/distortion

[Gergo Palatinszky]

Hi,

I know this schemo for long time, but ... Anybody has some clue / experience about this circuit, focusing on:  

 " The circuit has reasonably high frequency response and accuracy..."   What does it mean exactly? 

It's really can be good for audio and high (little bit over the audible) frequencies ?
(if yes is there any proposed transistor for the project - I mean speed or noise or matching is important or good old low signal silicones (2N39xx, etc..) are perfect without any matching and thermal contact? )


Thanx
	Pala

Here you go:

I've never built it but it looks promising....

Cheers,
