Why couldn't you just introduce attenuation after each stage to preserve headroom in the next stage (assuming you had sufficient dynamic range)?

- kazinator 12y agoOf course, that's how it's done. Thus distortion is just an effect and not amplification. You can put a gain of thousands. The resulting may be swinging close to rail-to-rail (relative to the distortion effect's power supply). This is too much for the next thing in the chain, so it is turned down. No brainer.
