Just imagine this, a non inverting montage with a couple diodes feeding back. I get how it works, it will amplify the signal until a certain point, at which it will just pass with no gain, creating a distorion (ovedrive, called in the 'guitar world'). I just want to know if I got this right. Being v+ = v-, we are basically comparing the output with the input, when the output is 0.7 V bigger than the input, it activates the diodes, and the signal passes through unchanged (without gain).

Or better yet, the output follows the input voltage, as a transistor in saturation mode.

 

Below are the LTspice simulations of the circuit for 0.3V and 2V peak inputs.
Is that what you expected?

Yes. Was just making sure my thinking was right.
