180606 Valve Studio - Exploring Intermodulation Distortion
Today I'm demonstrating imdExplorer, an interaction python tool to learn about harmonic and intermodulation distortion generated by a linear, hard-clipped linear and vacuum tube voltage amplifier. I briefly discuss 4 excellent papers, 3 covering pentode amplifier design and Rutt's AES paper on soft-limiting guitar amplifiers.
Calculation and Design of Resistance Coupled Amplifiers Using Pentode Tubes - Terman, Hewlett, Palmer, Pan.pdf
Dynamic Characteristics of Pentodes - Haefner.pdf
The Choice of Operating Conditions for Resistance-Capacitance-Coupled Pentodes - Langford-Smith.pdf
Vacuum Tube Triode Nonlinearity as Part of The Electric Guitar Sound - Rutt.pdf
