  Please excuse memory if the name is wrong... :icon_redface:
  IIRC it was Tim Escebedo...
  An opamp [I don't remember the type specced that workeD well for this] with a 10 ohm resistor across output and ground, tapped as output for distortion type circuit, which was said to have workde well...
  One more possible step, which would be pretty easy to try out, and would make for a 'power brake' type circuit...use an 8 ohm speaker of some type, with [around]
2 ohm resistor serieses [instead of the 10 ohm  resistor] then tap off of that.
  I don't know that a scheamtic appeared, and assumed it was a Dist+ or similar circuit that the concept was tried out on...
  AARate, copping an 8ohm little speaker is easy enough and would seem a worthwhile experiment for the concept.
Convention creates following, following creates convention.
