Hello guys
A question, some pedals like Maestro and MK1 needs quit a LOT of leakage from transistors. Would it be possible to make an artificial leakage? I think that's the idea of the diode 1K270 on the MK3 no?
Cheers
Benoit

The diode on Q3 of a tone bender helps bias the transistor and improves temperature related changes to bias.

You can create artificial leakage using resistors.
