anybody using these in their pedals?
I just found out about them. a guy building pedals on reverb/etsy says they can be cool. especially for synth stuff.
anyone?
:hello:

Tried some as clippers in a modded Bosstone. Close to germanium there, but maybe a bit more over the top in the suboctave stuff that pedal does--a hair too much, truth be told, so I didn't use them. I think people generally like them as easier to find germ diode subs.

don't know about bat diodes, but two nights ago there was a literal bat that somehow got into my house and was buzzing me while I was dozing off watchin tv lying on the couch...it was frantically flying loops between the living room/kitchen and about scared the shit out of me tell i figured out what was going on :lol: surprisingly easy to catch once it came to a rest above the fireplace but it was none too happy about being grabbed. now i've got to figure out how the hell it got in :idk:

Southwest Ohio. Funny enough this is the second house I've lived in, in Ohio, where I had to deal with a bat that got inside. First time I was on the toilet at the time, and there was a small window only like a foot from my head. Didn't have AC so I kept that window open and there was a screen....heard a scratchy noise and leaned forward to look out the window and to my surprise I was eye to eye with a bat :eek: good thing I was on the toilet :lol: closed that window in a heart beat man...then had to tap away at the glass to get it to climb up so I could open the window and then the screen so it could get free. Pretty sure that one got in through the attic.
