Audio distortion circuits often use two anti-parallel diodes. In a practical simulation, they can be combined in a single nonlinear element [10]. In this case (1) is modified as I= I. S. h e. V nDVT. 1 e. V. 1 i: (5) If only one diode is considered to conduct, i.e. the forward

The reader will probably recognize some of the circuits as old standbys redesigned around modern diodes for improved per­ formance. In each instance, the best diode (germanium, se­ lenium, silicon, copper-oxide) has been used. In some circuits more than one type has been used in order to secure the com­ bined advantages of each.

1 Answer Active Oldest Votes 11 As mentioned in the comments, diodes are not the way to go. They will massively corrupt your audio signal, and it will just sound utter rubbish. The simplest method is to use a passive mixer. That simply consists of two resistors per channel: simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
