Wave folding pedal?

[DRodriguez]

No wonder I loved it so much, haha. Been looking for a pedal to do this for me for about 6 months now.

you can make wave folder with an absolute value circuit. it is the same thing no?

split the signal into 2 paths, one path half wave rectifies... the other inverts then half wave rectifies. then recombine the 2 signals in a mixer/adder. the end. the wave is folded around 0. you can play with offsets to make it fold not at 0 etc. easily done with opamps. look up "absolute value circuit opamp" or something like that on google im sure you will find it.

Here's a 'scope video from the prototype I brought on Saturday. Input on the top (1kHz sine). Folds those waves like a laundromat.

it sounded amazing

That's a pretty scope trace.

Didn't read the whole thread, but basic clipping, folding and wrapping distortion is very easy to program. If anyone's interested I could write basic SPIN FV-1 sketches for all three methods and add them here.

I mean you should probably charge Cooper for the R&D.

Don't worry, if we push this thread far enough you'll see a bunch of them at namm in a year or two, it worked with plls.

Yeah, I've got an analog solution on my mind that employs CV for threshold definition, It'll probably just be a curiosity if it comes to fruition though as it's not a budget conscientious approach.

Your pedal gave me a boner. Just saying.

I don't get it.

Anyway codes are below (untested). Probably not the most effective approach. Also if the threshold is set low enough it might be interesting to add the fold or wrap limiter more than once in series.

I believe he's implying that I'm going to take your code and sell it as my own. I'm always doing That sort of thing

[D.o.S.]

Just call it a secret mode.

I am not equipped to do do anything with the code nor do I understand it but just want to say "Thank you!" for going through the time and effort to write up and share .

Also, have to say, your pedals sound great! Ugly Casanova has done them great justice in his demo videos.
