Parentheses Fuzz: Rotary Switch Settings?

[blueimpala]

Does anyone know what the rotary switch clipping options are on the Parentheses Fuzz, from left to right? I'm a little too green to be able to identify it by ear... or the wiring diagram. Thank you for your help.

1 - Op Amp
2 - Asymmetrical (Silicon + LED)
3 - Symmetrical (Silicon)
4 - Germanium

Thank you!

So the 4th position is nothing (or is it just still symmetrical clipping)? To my ears, it sounds like turning it to the 4th position actually introduces a 4th clipping option. Am I just imagining it?

Whoops. ?

Yep, 4th position is Germanium clipping.

This mode is only available if you use the rotary (not the toggle switch).

Hahaha, oh right. I remember putting those in there! S'pose I could've gotten to the bottom of that if I had thought hard enough about it...

Thank you for your help!
