So, hey, figured out a way to socket the diodes. They're gonna be interchangeable now. Enjoy. You can have them permanently installed as well. I have no idea how well sockets hold, but everyone seems to do it, and I've never read of parts falling out.

Basically, I'm gonna solder the two diodes together, and leave one set of leads sticking out so you can interchange them.

Small catch, though... I'll need you guys to buy your diodes. It adds up pretty fast on my end. 8 sets of diodes (as in two sets of each type) will be $5. Not much. It's a bit more than the actual cost of the diodes, but it'll also help cover the sockets themselves, and the time it's going to take to solder all those diodes together.

Don't worry about being able to identify them-- they all look dramatically different.

Well, the $5 covers all the ones I was offering. You get two sets of each type.

But there's a bazillion other options for diodes.

Almost exactly the same. It's got way more options, though-- and it's WAY louder.

Don't worry - the second I have one in my hands, I will demo it again! :thumb:

How do you guys feel about batteries? Necessary, never use them, other opinion?

Trying to decide whether or not there's any real need to add battery hardware as standard. It's just more stuff to buy, wire up, and the main thing in pedals that seems to go wrong in my experience (from battery clips shorting things out, or batteries leaking).

I'm thinking of just doing it by request.

Yeah. Two of them tied together. :thumb:

The protection diodes aren't there, and one MOSFET already broke, so they'll be there on the board. I've tested it-- they just weren't there in this picture.
