I dug thorugh some older threads but most are for the older board. I used 1N34A diodes across the board in D1 D2 and D8 and D9.
It seems like I have the same issue. (no octave effect and turning up the octave knob cuts volume)
I just didn't see where we landed because I'm not using old school russian stuff. I grabbed what was sold as GE 1N34A, but they look just like my silicon diodes. Pic attached.
My first guess is to swap those around. I'm assuming if they are marked backwards from what the circuit calls for, it wouldn't matter in the clippin section because all that matters is they be installed in opposite directions?
I'm going to try that first and report back. If there's any other reason for the the whole "octave knob kills the output" issue everyone seems to have.... I'm all ears![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Thanks,
p.s. everything else works and sounds flawless. Love the rat and the boost. Really wanna hear the octave as that's the only "new" thing for me on this one.
