The differences between symmetrical and asymmetrical clipping is something I would like to see and hear. Keep up the great work.

That's a pretty sad school if you didn't get a better education over the course of dozens of hours than you did with a short YT video 😂. I'm not disparaging the video, it's very well done. But that sounds like either hyperbole, or a massive waste of money on a school that should maybe be investigated lol

Watching this from New Zealand. Thanks for the explanations; I now understand why a clipping circuit needs a diode in each direction! Awesome use of a visual tool to explain what the ears are hearing.

Recently built my first pedal kit, a big muff clone, and saw a lot of people saying a common mod is to change the clipping diodes for LEDs to take out some harshness. Thought I'd take a quick look at what the deal is with clipping diodes and came across this video, ended up watching a bunch of your videos over the past few days and honestly I feel like this channel is going to be invaluable as I learn more about building pedals. Thanks for all the hard work and free education, really appreciate it!

@fc2p 3 года назад

Watching from Long Island, NY. This is cool stuff. I’ve been wanting to get into pedal building for a while. Finally have my degree, lots of guitars, pedals, and test equipment. Subscribed. The germanium diodes, which I think you said turn on at really low voltages, would clip more (more square shaped and shorter) and further reduce output signal. My favorite clipping is whatever is in the Friedman BE-OD, which is probably op-amp power rails... I don’t remember seeing any diodes in there. There was a Metalzone mod that had me replace silicon diodes (1N4001’s I think) with red led’s. I liked the silicons better.

@blahblah4767 2 года назад

FYI, the BE-OD actually uses cascaded gain stages, where the first stage is a soft clipping stage with red LED's. The second stage is a soft clipping stage with silicon diodes, and the third is a hard clipping stage with red LED's again.

Hungary here, I just put my first Distortion+ together, Germanium diodes were not available at the time of the build, so I made them with silicons, and I love it, it has some sort of a gutteral gnarly voice, almost like fuzzyness. Possibly I just fucked the circuit up, but I love it

@alexmoll8372 4 года назад

Thanks Jason - these videos are great! Watching from Marysville, WA. In this particular demo, I think I prefer no diodes. But having the options is so important for different guitars, amps, signal chain, etc. I'm trying to get my head around wiring a bypass switch (3P3T?) with an indicator LED, and would love to watch you explain that in detail. I think you showed/explained some of that in a recent pedal building video, in the last week or two - but my comprehension isn't quite there yet.

@artyomdonka 4 года назад

Hi, Jason! All diodes actually sounded fine. Would be nice to hear a tonal comparison where clipping amount is equal for all diodes. As we theoretically know at which voltage they clip, I think it is possible to calibrate input level for approx. equal amount of clipping. A test for different diodes (lets say silicons) to hear how much they sound different would be interesting too! I never done these tests myself, but tried different diodes to check how they affect the tone in a given pedal. Thank you for the interesting content!

@metalmaniac1836 3 года назад

Hi Jason! Watching from th UK here. Diode clipping was my favourite here, I prefer a more compressed fuzz sound. Keep up the excellence!

Great video! I'm watching from Taipei, Taiwan in a 2 week quarantine that has me searching up things I've never thought to search before. I never really knew what clipping diodes were. Now that you've explained them and I've listened, I think no diodes are my favorite. Just adjust the level and tone. Silicon was way too compressed. I guess they all have their place in a mix, but just listening to one alone I'd prefer the clarity of Op Amps only.

I found your channel the other day and it's been a huge help getting me to understand pedal circuits. I wish I had known this during my EE Classes, I would have paid attention!

There seems to be a lot of confusion/overlap and I would love to know the differences from a component and output perspective.

Originally from Greece, currently living in Sweden . I have built a Green russian muff clone and experimented with various clipping options.

I just recently build me a parentheses Fuzz with 3 Clipping options and i am torn between Silicon Cleeping because of the, what i learned now, the lowest tipping point which makes it more "round" i guess overall and no diodes on the other side because it feels the most like a nice Amp distortion with nice Dynamics.

@RoboticusMusic 3 года назад

Are there asymmetrical circuits that have for example a silicon for positive and nanolog or germanium for negative voltage, perhaps with additional components to match the output volume because of the different clipping voltage requirements?
