Hello,
I've been working on a design where I'd like to use a pair of hard clipping antiparallel diodes to ground to form a "clamp" circuit (limit peak voltage swings). Given the limitation I've placed on myself to not use excessive buffers/active stages, I'm trying squeeze them in with a another stage, namely a tonestack. The TS requires low input impedance, which I suspect might be an issue if the preceding diodes ARE NOT conducting. I'm wondering if other people have experience working with diodes in this manner and have advice/suggestions? I don't have access to breadboard right now but would otherwise test there too.
Here's an example circuit of the phenomena.
