Mystery Meat diodes

[SillyOctpuss]

Does anyone know if the mystery meat diodes are hard or soft clippers?

If they're soft clippers will we need to use low leakage diodes or does it not matter? I've been testing my stash and they're all pretty leaky.

Can you help with this @Robert?

Can anyone help with this? The last of my parts arrived today and I'd like to finish it up tonight. I'm not keen on using sockets for the diodes either.

Considering many call this a "transparent" OD pedal, my guess is soft clippers.

I think some of those ICs might be fake.

Soft clipping, and there is a capacitor in series with the diodes so DC leakage shouldn't be an issue.

Perfect thankyou @Robert I really appreciate it.
