Title: Pointdexter "Beard 8"
Post by: sgmezei on August 24, 2011, 08:04:47 PM
Alrighty, here is my octave up fuzz Pointdexter. I added a diode clip switch for d2 to go between two different choices. D1 is a 1n34 and D2 is either 1n34 or bat41.
I tried an on/off/on and taking the one diode out almost destroyed my amp haha. MASSIVE output.

Nice one man... :)
Its good fun trying out those different flavoured diodes huh?  I like the no diode sound myself, but like you said its pretty loud!

Yeah I definetly liked the sound of it but when compared to having the diodes in it was way too much of a volume difference. You had to breathe on the volume knob to adjust it, way too loud.
