Hi,

I´m just working on a Zendrive clone for a friend who once had the original Hermida pedal, but had to sell it...

I just realized that I only have two BAT41, that I used for D1 and D2. How exactly would it alter the sound, if I take a BAT46 or a 1N34a for D3? AND WHY? I´m sure that it wouldn´t sound much different compared to a BAT41, but I wanna take the chance to learn a bit more about that MOSFET/Schottky combinations... Which values in the datasheets are important to look at and why?
