Emphasis

Digital emphasis/de-emphasis with analog saturation

DIY module by imrae (FrequencySummoner)

Two single-band digital EQ sections with linked frequency and inverse-linked gain control.
These can be used individually for frequency shaping/mixing, or in series to manipulate the effect of nonlinearities without a drastic effect on overall tonality.

A diode soft-clipping section is also provided; the normalled connections run

Emphasis Out -> Clipper In, Clipper Out -> De-emphasis In

so with just one input and output connected we have a flexible distortion effect.

CV input has an attenuverter and switchable location. EQ curve is switchable between low-shelf, peaking and high-shelf.
