You want the over all volume at output of pedal to remain consistent, and just the tooth/distortion element of the gain to rise and fall, correct?
That could be challenging in a standard transistor type fuzz if you want the low ebb of the gain to essentially be *clean* (ie: largely transparent), unless you go over to the dark side and employ VCA type circuitry.
Thanks for the plug! I like CV support; mine modulates the power rails, so while a tremolo effect is certainly available it's wholly NOT working in tandem with a clean line.
I'm going to dive deeper into CV, but right now I need to stay focused on one thing at a time. Tap tempo is also an aspect that speaks micro-controller to me, which is outside my comfort zone - but I do know some people. Would spanning this function over a couple/few devices be too messy? I feel like it would be a shame to build an amplitude stable circuit that modulates dirt only and then force it to eat from a single CV waveform (and sticking an ADSR envelope on a pedal just amplifies crazy).
