ABSTRACT:
A system for the high gain amplification of musical audio signals uses a control signal derived from the audio signal to automatically vary the current in the gain control circuit of the amplifier in response to audio signal level changes. A distortion circuit in the feedback path of the amplifier provides controlled distortion. The system may also provide for a variable control signal threshold level and for variation in control signal decay characteristics. The system may further provide a user variable maximum gain control.
