I don't even know why this occurs to me. It's just that in the back (of the front) of my head, something is saying, "Hey, the math is close..." I think it's from seeing it done in other circuits. I've even seen three diodes in series - not counting diode ladder filters...

which circuit are you referring to that uses a diode as a vcr? The thomas henry flanger? or something else?

i am interested in this experiment!



thnks
