I've looked at a few projects that call for 1n4007 diodes in the power section. I have a bunch of 1n4001 diodes hanging around. The only difference I can spot is the voltage allowance of 1000V vs. 50V. Is there any way a stompbox powered at 9V will see a swing of more than 50V? Are there any places where a 1n4007 would be needed over a 1n4001?
Anything in the 1N400X series is interchangeable for stompbox purposes.
Plenty of the parts of a circuit, especially an op amp design, never see more than five volts, never mind fifty.
That is what I thought - how can a 9V supply generate more than 50V? I just wanted to verify as I'm putting together a Tayda order and want to cover about 6 possible projects.
