Hi guys first post here. There's still ALOT I need to learn but I'm currently building Madbeans Slambox in the the same housing as the Neutrino, "Eternity" also from Madbean, but my question is there anything I can sub for the Zeneer on the Slambox? I stocked up on my parts from smallbear but forgot the Zeneer diode. RadioShack only has like a 5.6 or something like that which I did go ahead and buy but I was going through some other layouts of the SHO and I found one verified using two 1N4148's in D1 and 2 instead of Madbeans suggested 1n4001 and 9.1 Zeneer.
Simply put...is it ok to use other Diodes here? Also, I was under the impression that 9v zeneers were used for polarity protection or overload. Again I'm a newb.
Thanks in advance.
