Somewhere here tried it and said it sounded like crap. That's all I remember.

Re: Black Ice?

Its basically just two diodes connected in parallel, with one reversed. You connect them across your pups output wires. Since it takes approximately 600mv's to turn on a diode, anything above that gets clipped. Try it yourself with two Radio Shack 50-cent diodes.

It will sound like crap.

Re: Black Ice?

I have some extra diodes I can send you if you want. I bought some to make the Black Ice thing and haven't done it yet.
