So this is a Prince with a ton of Tone, you know who I mean, you know the aristocratic lineage, the waiting list and all, right.
Built after the original schematic added 9 to 18V charge pump circuit and onboard relay bypass.
I had even some MA856 diodes floating around which I got years back from Pedalhacker I believe when they were only close to unobtanium.
Does it make a lot of difference? I dunno.
I measured them on my CCCT (cheap Chinese component tester) and they cam up with about 0.8V forward voltage, not that different from your garden variety 1N4148 which clocked in on same testing device with 0.7 V.
Anyway, a nice classic back in my hands after I gave an earlier one I built to a friend who decided to give me money back instead. Fair nuff, build another one.
Have a fab New Years everyone! Keep it loud!
