I ordered two instead of the three needed for the schematic
opinions for subs ?
Anything interesting or better ?
4002 , or germainium ?
and which position if one is to sub ?
tia , i'll throw something in there just thought
knowledgable opinion may give me a better start
Steve from smallbear says this is a substitute. I have no personal experience with the part myself.

EDIT: I can't find where I read about that now. You might want to wait for someone else to weigh in on this.
Thanks for the reply ,
maybe there is something interesting
to mix & match ? with the bat 41
When i put bat41 into the digikey filter
some schotsky diode popped up
so i ordered a couple of those
bat41 is a Schottky. It has a somewhat higher forward voltage than a germanium. However, either 1n34a or 1n270 germanium diodes will work very well as a substitute.
thanks for the reply Brian
Am i mistaken or are the 1n34's getting harder to find ?
I'll pop one of those in for Asymetrical vibe
Hi. I have some Bat46s. Can I use those as a sub? Thx
Yep, BAT46 should be just fine. The 41's have become just about my favorite clipping diode now. I'm starting to use them all over the place.
Thanks!! I put the 46s in and it sounds great. I appreciate you're fast reply!!
It has a lot of gain with the bat46s. Would the bat41s be more or less clipping / distortion (if that even makes sense)?
Thanks again!!
I got bat41's from mouser. I really like them alot too, but I am worried it's just mojo hype but they do sound nice to me and have a nice compressed feel.
The best source for 1n34a's I have found is Aron's store over at diystompboxes.com I bought out my local store a while back and got about 25 but I am almost out so I ordered some from Aron. If anybody has another source let me know I wouldn't mind ordering big lot.
if you're not in a hurry for the parts futurlec has 1n34a's dirt cheap. 10 of em for 50 cents evidently.

they have bat41's too.
Thanks Haberdasher!
I ordered both the 1n34s and the bat41s from futurlec. I also ordered a OPA2604 which I heard was a better opamp than the AD712.
