Thank you for all your great advice so far! It gives some really good hints
which trees to consider barking up, so to speak. Well, I first have to
become multicellular, and evolve eyes, then find the trees, but you get the
idea.

I enclose the full schematic if anyone's curious, my guess was that the
first three filter stages (C1R1, C3R2R3, and C4UA2) could be approximated
with stuff from the cookbook. Just loading the schematic into
LTSpice seemed to confirm this somewhat. Also the stages after this more
complex "fifth order" section (C9R7?, C12C13R11R12C14A) looked like they
either are inconsequential or kind of map onto the more normal filter
cookbook topologies too. The "N" ground is the midpoint between the two
power rails for the opamps. The "ground ground" is the negative rail.

(It's not the greatest distortion box and also not the worst. Peak 1990
technology. On the other hand my hope is that a simulation could run in a
couple of hundred CPU cycles and not need either bluetooth, AI or a built
in web browser. I was planning to just slap the code on github if I ever
got it working. I would use JSFX because it's so easy to prototype stuff in
this language)

Cheers,
J
