Hi,
great I found this thread! Great I found the link to the premierguitar site!
I have the guts of a DS-1 together with two other pedals in rack housing. A few years ago, somebody else modded the DS-1 for me with one LED and one 1N4148 as D4 and D5. I didn't like the characteristics of the LED, so I wanted a change. What I tried was two 1N4148, a 1N4148 and a 1N4001, just on 1N4148 and the other one blank and then what I found over there:
D4 1N4148 Connected in Series to another 1N4148
D5 1N4001 Connected in Series to another 1N4001
That's what I have now switchable with the "one 1N4148 and one 1N4001" option. I called it "diode stacking". With the stacking mode on it's a lot louder but a bit less distortion - but I like the sound much better than with LED!
Thanks and all the best,
silverface.
