Can someone show me the basic schematics for an amplitude distortion circuit?

It depends on the voltage your discussing.  The simplest that comes to mind is two parallel diodes reverse connected.  Silicon diodes will clip at  1.4Vp-p and germanium clip at 0.8Vp-p. \nFor higher voltages  two series zener diodes reverse connected will give you a wide option of clipping voltages. \nIf you specify the clipping volts I can help more.

Here is a good article. To understand them, you need to get a multimeter, and electronics projects book, a breadboard (to mount circuits on), and a selection of electronic parts from Radio Shack. Use batteries initially, and then when you are more confident a power supply and rectifier to do experiments, and measure voltage, current, and resistance values around the circuit.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics\nHyperphysics.

Follow this link - \n\nhttp://www.d-lusion.com/News.html\n\nDrumstation is free, loads of kits as well if I can remember. If this does not fit the bill then I have no idea what you are talking about.

go to radioshack...they sell basic instruction manuals, circuits and all the bits you'll need

More info is needed. \n\nWhat is the pass band frequency, what is the spectral content of the input signal. Ideally how steep do you want it?

use a solid state amp and the absolute cheapest distortion stomp box you can find. Turn everything up louder than everything else. Oh, maybe learn how to play your instrument

The basic components are:\n\nAn antenna (to "capture" the RF signal)\nA filter (LC circuit to tune to the frequency of interest)\nAn amplifier (to amplify the weak signal)\nAn FM demodulator (to downconvert and "decode" the FM signal and get back the baseband signal which is what our ears interepret as sound)\nAnother amplifer (make it variable so you can change the volume)\nA speaker\nOh, and of course the power supply (battery) to bias all the active components.\n\nI know you asked for a wiring diagram...but maybe try purchasing each of the above components seperately as modules and put the thing together... just do a google search... but congrads for trying to build an FM radio... It shouldn't be too bad... Make sure you have a bread board....

What's to know?\n\nIt's the typical offset voltage, or DC component of the output.  The signal is AC.

There's a great article explaining thyristor operation and showing basic circuit diagrams here: http://www.ibiblio.org/obp/electricCircuits/Semi/SEMI_7.html\n\nThere was also a very good reference book called "SCR Manual Including Triacs and Other Thyristors" published by GE from the early 1960's into the late 1970's.  It's a highly prized source for many engineers, and you -may- be able to find one for sale, if you're lucky. (No, you can't have mine :-P )\n\nDo a Yahoo! search for "thyristor circuit diagram" and you'll get thousands of results. :)

The following assumes you want to generate square and\ntriangle waves of relatively low frequencies:\n\nJust use a microcontroller. Use one output pin for the square\nwave and feed it through a D-type flip-flop configured as a \ndivide-by-two to get 50% duty cycle on the output. For the\ntriangle wave you can use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)\nand hook the output pin to an RC (Resistor Capacitor) filter\nto form a simple D/A (Digital to Analog) converter.\n\nAlternatively, you can either buy a microcontroller with a\nbuilt-in D/A converter or add one externally. This will allow\ngeneration of any arbitrary waveform.\n\nA few of the many manufacturers of suitable microcontrollers\nare: \n\nAtmel, Microchip, Silicon Laboratories, and Texas Instruments.
