Title: Egodriver and clipping
Post by: gtangas on February 09, 2013, 08:27:51 PM
Finished a minutes ago the Egodriver

Everything works nice but I can't hear any difference when engage the clipping mod

This is my first pedal with led clipping so sorry for the Noob questions...

Should the leds turn on when clipping on?
I used 5mm red leds

For clipping I can only use 5mm leds? Or 3mm will be Ok as well?

From what I've read, in the clipping diode position you can use any diode your heart desires :)

You can even use things that are not diodes but can be wired to work as them, like 2n7000's.

It was the led  :D

I tried with 5mm yellow and it worked. The light from the leds was to vanish so i swaped by 3mm red and the result is much better

Now I can hear the diff... I like it!! I hum hum  ;D
