HI everyone, it's been a while since I've posted as I have been venturing in to radio to learn more about proper electronics before learning how to properly mangle a sine wave.
During my studies and construction of 20 cb radios I've learned a lot about different types of voltage regulator. It reminded me of all the different ways I tried to diode clip. Every pdf and page I read showed diode clipping as improper. I purposely tend to over engineer bc I learn more.
My question is if I use some type of variable regulator will it work in place of the typical diode clipping config. My intention is to try and and adjust the level of clipping in a unique way.
Seems to me that unless there is something I'm misunderstanding about this it should work well. Any info or tips would be appreciated.
When u said improper I meant that in other applications involving power.
One last addition. I'm using a discrete built regulator not lm317
