Slow loris diode clipping

[night-B]

Hi!
In a hurry I replaced the leds of the diode clipping by some bat41 diodes, thinking it's a cool idea.
Is it going to work or do I need to swap the diode for some red leds like in the bom?

You can use any diodes you want for clipping. The famous types in a Rat have always been Red LED's or Silicon 1n914/1n4148 types. I would socket them if you can.

I've noticed that before. Still have to try some LED's as clippers. It's supposed to make the unit more crunch like and less gain?

it does tend to sound more distorted. i find you also get quite a different frequency response. I love the sound of red LED's in a rat.

for extra fun, mount an LED (or both) on the case and you can see them light up as you play.
