I may also need to get a switch someone b/c my only spare DPDT is an ON-OFF-ON. I really wish there was a slider switch I could use but it seems like none of them having spacing to fit this.

I’ll also need to consider how to mount it b/c I planned on keeping the…Read more

I saw this video and already have a pedal themed around gold anyway, so it seemed kismet, and I like the sound. He explains the details around 1:16 and says to replace a set of hard clipping diodes with the pyrite using a wrap on one end and a cat whisker connection on the other. That seems easy enough, but this pedal uses more than…Read more

It sounds like D7-8 will probably have a large impact (right?) but will D1-2 or D3-6 even be noticeable if swapped?

So I could just wire them all offboard in series with a switch that begins at the start of D3 and ends at D6’s end to switch between the stock and the alternative diodes, right?

Can someone confirm which diode(s) affect the hard clipping? Ideally, I would use a switch to toggle between the stock mode and the new version, but I’m not sure what to swap and don’t want to go crazy with adding sockets. TYIA
