Hi Gang,
Decades ago when the 'Stones released "Satisfaction", we all marveled at the new sound.
In short order we realized that you could get that effect by throwing in a couple of diodes in the signal path.
Germanium worked best, at .3 volts turnon and a nonlinear turnon slope at that.
Trying to duplicate that curve in Flowstone is next to impossible, but roughly the same effect can be gotten by tossing in a couple of Spogg's perfect diodes.
Here's how we hooked 'em up, you can compare half wave and full wave sounds,
switchable for your convenience.
The file is 'shipped' with the effect 'out', patch in your favorite player and horse around with the switches and dials.
Use it on your next recording if you like !
The 'Stones did, and we all know what happened next !
