Aion Straylight/univibe Bat 48

[Endosidney]

What potential issues may arise using Bat46 in place of Bat48 in D4. 48 has forward current of 350mA and 46 has 150mA. I plan on completing this over weekend and I’ll just socket D4 since I don’t have 48’s unless distinctly contraindicated.

It's just for protection of the regulator
Should be fine

Thanks! That’s a relief considering all that’s needed in BOM. Out of curiosity, using a Bat 46, what scenario would create a failure of regulator?

Reverse voltage transients in excess current rating of the diode
It's really not a huge risk in a 9v pedal.
