Electronics-Salon Guitar Distortion Effect Module Board, 1N270 Germanium Soft-clipped Distortion.

and what's up so what I'm up to is a little experiment today that's we can uh put together this clown clone using the mad being some King to board haven't yet decided on the diode so what I want to do here is try a bunch of different diodes head laying around seeing how they sound in the circuit so what I did is I have the diode style it's socketing and I ran some jumpers out from the PCB to a breadboard here which allows me to easily switch between them and see what they sound like so the diodes I'm using are mixed bag over here on the Left I got a Japanese white from small there don't know much about it other than it's a germanium diode pretty low forward voltage and I'll explain what forward voltage means in this case in a few I got a one end 270 another germanium diode in a n 306 germanium this is a one and five eight one eight Schottky this is a one in three for a it's a pretty com
