A while back I had purchased the instructions for modding a Blues Driver from the Monte Allums site. Well I finally got around to doing it yesterday. I had every part I needed except for a 1N34A Germanium diode. Is there anything I can replace it with? Currently, I only have these diodes: 1N4148, 1N4004, 1N4002, 1N4001, 1N4742, 1N5819, and 1N270.
The mod sounds pretty good like it is, but I'd like to finish the mod completely lol
A 1N270'd be fine.
I agree with the 1n270. I would socket it and try others. I find that sometimes you can hear a difference and sometimes you can't. This could be a good opportunity to see for yourself.
Have fun !
Thanks guys. I'll give it a shot!
That's a GREAT mod. I never used used my bd-2 in the years that I owned it. I use it all the time now, makes it a usable pedal :)
