Not sure if this would work, but if it can, how would LEDs affect tone in place of diodes in a audio circut like a OD pedal or preamp?

Re: A bit of a tech question
LEDs are diodes actually...Depends on the size and color of the diodes...Crunchy,louder,tighter sounding...Best to try them and see what "your" ears tell ya?Originally posted by TSE View PostAmps: 66 Fender BF Pro Reverb Combo,1973 50 Watt Marshall Head,Marshall 4x12 A/V Cab,Vox ToneLab LE,Vox VTH Valvetronix 120 Head,Vox AD 2x12 Cab,Roland Cube 20X

Re: A bit of a tech question
leds are good....ive installed them in a ds1 (obvioulsy), but also a tubescreamer - turned it into a warm fat midstrong boost it could still overdrive in the higher gain settings too. I liked the effect so much i installed some in my 1975 musicman amp. It increased the headroom, fattened it up and made it sound more natural. LEDS are sweet in a lot of applications."Technique is really the elimination of the unneccessary ... it is a constant effort to avoid any personal impediment or obstacle to acheive the smooth flow of energy and intent"
