As far as I know, there should be three:-One Kurt guitar track-One fourth member guitar track (tracked by Kurt)-Bleed-through in the vocal mic from Kurt's H912

I think in theory it would be like a tremolo effect except the volume cut wouldnt be significant enough to be noticeable, and the frequency would be too high to be noticeable. That's NOT what "asymmetrical" distortion or clipping usually refers to. With asymmetrical clipping one side of the wave is being clipped more or differently than the other. In an amp with a pulled tube, as described, any clipping should be the same on either side of the wave. I dont really see how an amp with a tube removed could or would generate different distortion than one running normally. There is the possibility that something ELSE in the amp had failed and produced uneven distortion but that could be any number of things.*I caught this typo, but decided to leave it as-is. Sue me.I would think having only 1 tube running out of a quad, you're going to have a totally different impedance - no longer running matched to the speaker load, would be a totally different sound as well

Awesome, thanks Steve. This amp should be in a fucking museum.

I've found some plugins who actually do asymmetrical distortion, it's quite a subtle effect but i like it. I guess pushing the amp to oblivion kind of turns it into some fuzz territory. That's what i'm interested it, something in between distortion and fuzz. also found some distortion pedals with asymmetrical distortion on youtube, some good, some bad.KFC...A couple of possibilities if you find yourself wanting to go after something along that line - First, The Boss Line Selector pedal. It will allow you to put two pedals into loops, and combine the levels of said loops before feeding them into a lone output. You can go "In Between" hog wild with some sort of a fuzz and some sort of a distortion.Second, Sam Ash recently reissued the Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxx. While it might not be your particular jam, it is kind of a middle ground between fuzz and overdrive.Third, pedal power supplies that will let you run a pedal a lower than nine volts. If "Strained..." is what you are trying to ballpark, it might get you somewhere close to that. Fourth, combinations of "First" and "Third" for a wider potential number of sounds.

The Broke-Ass Amp guitar pedal is coming soon.

Yeah it was borken as hell.
