How would this actually look on a breadboard?

Currently breadboarding the propolis, and I'm having a tough time conceptualizing where to actually put these diodes on my breadboard. Could someone show me?

Bumping this to see if anyone can lend a hand

There's so many ways...

This makes so much more sense than what I was trying, thank you for diagramming it

You do understand how the rows / columns are connected on a breadboard, right?

How would this look on vero?

Thanks! What if I want to do asymmetrical clipping instead? Does that change the layout?

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Depends on what you mean by "asymmetrical." Usually, octave-up circuits are all about symmetry. You can unbalance the octave generator to let more fundamental thru by messing with R7 - R10 (changing any one of them will do). It may not look like it, but the diode clipper is already asymmetric because Q3 & Q4 do not drive the diodes symmetrically.

Asymmetrical like in a simple overdrive circuit. Currently in the process of vero-ing a Boss SD-1 with clipping selector switch. The switch would be between a symmetrical and asymmetrical set of diodes. Wasnt sure if this should have been in a new thread.

Since it's not the same pedal, then a new thread would be appropriate. Otherwise I get confused.

Didn't mean to take over this thread. I started a new one.
