I once used a 2N???? as an electronic variable capacitor by using the collector base and reverse biasing, so I know transistor junction capacitance varies with applied voltage. I wonder if the audio can modulate the variable capactance of the junction [pretty certain it does] and "Does it have any effect?"
Any diode will do that, and a transistor junction is basically a diode...
I remember reading how rectifiers could be used as varactors to tune circuits.
