CLIPPING DIODES
There are two sets of clipping diode pads on the board, along with pads for an optional
clipping selection switch.
Stock clipping:
Standard Rodent: D2-3 1N4148
Turbo Rodent: D4-5 3mm Red LEDs
You Dirty Rodent: D2-3 1N34A
Notice there’s an extra spot - D6. You can add an extra diode along with
D2-3 to get asymetrical clipping. It doesn’t have to be 1N4148. Mix and match.
Experiment with different diode combinations in any of the spots and find your own
favourite.
NOTE: YOU MUST PUT A JUMPER WIRE ACROSS D6
IF YOU AREN’T USING IT FOR A DIODE.
If you’re using the diode selection switch, just put a
SPDT ON-ON switch in there. If you’re making a 3-
knob version you can’t put the switch directly into the
pads - you’ll have to wire it offboard and place it as
shown >>>
HARD WIRING A SINGLE CLIPPING OPTION
If you want to dispense with the clipping switch you’ll have to place a jumper wire across
the switch pads, depending on which set of diode pads you’re using.
RED for D4-5
BLUE for D2-3(-6)
