Hi All

After reading Barry’s new guide: How Gain, Headroom & Clipping Shape Your Tone, I thought it might be interesting to post a few clipping recipes used in some popular pedals for a reference and as an invite for others to share their favorites. These schematics are all used in feedback (soft) clipping stages but can also be used for signal path (hard clipping). The pin outs for the Jfet and Mosfet versions are used for illustration, check your pin-outs before applying them. There are many different diodes and combinations that can be used, if you have a favorite that I haven’t listed or one that you have used to mod a pedal, please share it. Schematics optional.

I hope this helps. If I made any mistakes please let me know.

Best
