BOM shows Dis. Values in blue should be substituted for OD250.
*Lots of conflicting info on schematics out there for this value. A lot of them show 1n, but that’ll
suck a lot of top end. By all means do that, but we prefer to keep it small and retain the top.
We’ll supply 10p, 220p and 1n.
**You can add another 1N4148 in D1 if you want to see how the circuit sounds with asymetrical
clipping.
***Extra pads are provided for a second clipping option. See overleaf.
‡
Originally 1MB, but the sweep is terrible. 500KC is much more useable.
