Hello,

I am finishing the Oxide build. I did a clipping switch, and I wonder if it's allright ? IMG_20221114_230740.jpg

Green (on D2-) rings with R9, blue (D4-) rings with IC1.1. and Drive's pin 3.

I connected 1 red led+ to an other red led-


I can't really here the usual volume gap, it sounds like something is happening when i use the switch, but not much though.

I don't know this circuit, but i feel something is wrong... like it's not really clipping.

Did I forgot something ?

I think you have your diodes arranged a bit weird. I think you need to have your diodes in anti-parallel instead of series how you have them on the switch.
