4 diodes passive distortion

Posted on January 21, 2021 by admin

Was a little more crunchier, purchased some 1n341 diodes to make better.

Circuit — Gonna try this full wave rectifier circuit. Edit tried this one, sounded weaker, think user made error, looks like that corner diode is grounded on each end, sound more like 2 diodes.

Changed the orientation of the diodes, now it’s a lot dirtier.
