I am embarrassed to say I didn't look at the 2N7000 or BS170's as diodes...I just assumed they were variable resistors. That might only be relevant to JFET's. So it might have been a pointless exercise to change my BOM item from BS170 to 2N7000.

Maybe flying fish do, but they are not your average fish.

Yes...six pedals, so roughly $26 shipping on two orders is only $6.50 each. I could look at that like buying each pedal a beer, and feel good about it!

I too decided to take the plunge and make a group buy among friends and bought enough parts to maker a few Mahayana pedals. They said "we don't know anything about electronics. What's a diode, anyway?". I kind of thought I'd be the builder. I knew better than to go shopping when I'm hungry, but...

Funny, Oxford English Dictionary has a sanitized version spelled as biatch, like it's "proper" or something, then gets off the polite rails as biotch. ikipedia takes both as equal slang. Then some people get really fancy with their own "creative" spellings.

I think this may be utilized (with additional sophistication) in SMU (source measurement unit) diode parameter testing methods. I have run out of fancy vocabulary...if it interests you, there is information online, and you won't need an expensive automated tester to read the theory and extract...

Has anyone ever gotten bored or interested enough to put a resistor in series with diodes under test and also collect the determine the diode current (If) along with Vf? I'll avoid my bad habit of rambling incessantly and just suggest I think you will find the combination of both parameters may...
