Does the wattage of a zener diode matter for the purpose of building pedals?
For example, if a build calls for a 9.1V 1/2W zener, is a 9.1V 1W an acceptable substitute?
I am building the Narcissus, which calls for three of them, and from my limited knowledge it looks like they might be clipping diodes. Would using a higher wattage affect the sound?
