Thanks, I will try it and we will see. I haven't cut of the leads of the diode yet, so if there's a problem, I think I should be able to solder the right diode to the leads on the other side of the board. Not the most elegant solution but it should work.

Tech Help - Projects Page / Current Lover diode mishap
June 04, 2012, 05:29:26 PM
Hello,
I am building pedals on vero for some time, but recently tried my first PCBs from Madbean.
I have mistakenly soldered an UF4007 instead of the 1N4007 as D2 on the Current Lover PCB ( http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/CurrentLover/CurrentLover.pdf ).
Will this do any problems? From what I have read in the data-sheets it has higher forward voltage (1,7V x 1,1V) and obviously faster reverse recovery. I think it might me a problem because it is part of the bias of the Q2 base. What do you think?
Normally I would just switch it for the right diode but I somehow find it extremely hard to desolder components from the PCBs with the pump I use. So if you think this diode will be a problem, any desoldering tips will be very appreciated.
Thanks
Jakub
