They don't work brilliantly but there good enough. Socketed R11 and C10 and preferred the burn setting so adjusted for that.

One workaround is to use a antilog pot (100K-500K) that reduces the amount of series resistance as you turn CW. This will act like a saturation control, adding distortion & compression as you turn it CW. Then add a switch to change betweeen different diode configurations. While it takes 1 pot & 1 switch to pull off, these parts are easy to source.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315065911032896145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-29312495597878864912016-08-13T08:34:40.843+01:002016-08-13T08:34:40.843+01:00You can modify a linear pot to emulate log, rev lo...You can modify a linear pot to emulate log, rev log or w.

It says asymetrical is more compression. Seeing how uually assymetrical is 3 diodes and symetrical is 2 usually assymetrical has more head room. I guess on this pedal it is the other way since its using 4 diodes for symettrical giving it more forward voltage. man i want to build them all ha ha .
