I've seen so many on the Web. Here's a diode clipping circuit from Rod Elliott. Look at Figure 1.

My experience is that Elliott's circuits always work very well and are easy to modify.

If you're just looking to generate H2, there's a few power amps in the Pass labs (single ended MOSFET amplifier comes to mind) that will work a lot better than your "analog pulse" scheme.
You could do it with a line level circuit too. Simple single MOSFET gain stage, loaded with a simple resistor, will accomplish the same thing. Diode based distortion circuits are for "fuzz" effect with electric guitars. Playing with resistor values can change the effect if you must experiment. "Soft clipping" circuits use resistors to "round out" the sharp edges caused by the diodes.

Thanks Fast Eddie D for your thoughts in your two above posts. Mr. Elliot's approach is well regarded and accepted. It is albeit different from my subject matter; but which maybe/is amenable for application in guitar signal processing as you suggest.
Like other Audio DIYers, I am indebted to Mr. Pass for his gracious generosity teaching us H2 and for providing me with two of his prototypes. I enjoyed posting in his thread. The subject matter of this thread embodies/teaches H2; to further emphasize its sonic subjective value. And to further show other non-classical amplication means which are practical, and may just be entertaining or simply food [or fiber] for thought.
Best wishes
