Re: Rat 2 mods
diode toggle? How do you want it to sound? If you want it more fuzzy/noisy put some germanium/schottky in there or for more of a almost distortion LEDs.

Re: Rat 2 mods
Remove the diodes right, then where it says 1 (or 2) connect that to side of the diodes and 3 (or 4) to the other side

Re: Rat 2 mods
dpdt toggle, on on, or a on off on if you want no diodes in the middle position (just ic clipping)

Re: Rat 2 mods
hmm it'll be more subtle, you'll get a big volume boost (you'll also get a boost when you flip to LEDs btw too.) I can't really say exactly how it will sound I've never done it myself. Crowther hot cake is one example of ic clipping, although I don't really know if it'll sound like that.

Re: Rat 2 mods
Alright, so far what I did was, I added a three way switch. Middle position is stock. To the left it bypasses the main gain resistor adding more gain and more bass. To the right it bypasses the second gain resistor give it just more treble. Fun stuff.
