Super Stevie Overdrive Diode

Shouldn't the protection diode D100 be the normal 1N5817 instead of 1N4148? 1N4148 is printed on the board and listed in the build doc, but i have a feeling it mght be a mistake.

The 1N4148 is Correct for this Circuit as shown on the PCB & BOM!

It's not a mistake. You can certainly use a 1N5817 if you'd like, but that's not what was in the original.

Thank you for clarifying.

I wonder if the 4148 was a mistake in the original ...

Given that most pedal builders don't have a clue, you could say that about every part in the pedal.

1N4148 will work fine, and in the event of a hard short on the board, it will make an excellent fuse.

If you've ever seen the schematic for the JanRay you'll see the 1N4148 used in that in the same place... It's a bit like the second 100n cap in power supply section. I'm not saying anything
