Hi All, it's been a long time since I've posted. Took many years off this hobby distracted with work, etc. Finally getting back into pedal building and it seems like a bunch of the shops I used to buy from are no more. I just put in a big order at Tayda since Smallbear was closed (I see they are reopening tomorrow). Anyways...

Has anyone ordered from https://www.pedalhackerelectronics.com/default.asp? They seem to have all of the unobtanium diodes...are these real or fakes? I searched the forum but came up with nothing.

King Of Tone: https://www.pedalhackerelectronics.com/1S1588-Original-Toshiba-Silicon-Diode-NOS-RARE-KOT-p/1s1588-1.htm and
https://www.pedalhackerelectronics.com/Original-Panasonic-MA856-Diode-p/ma856.htm

Klone: https://www.pedalhackerelectronics.com/D9E-Russian-Klon-germanium-diode-p/d9e-10.htm and lots of other germanium that would fit the bill.

Thanks in advance!

-Dan

Welcome back!

I've looked at that shop (and those diodes) before, but haven't ever tried them out. It does seem rather unlikely that they'd have access to genuine ones at this point.

I order from them when they have what I need. Good experience. Checkout cabintech also. Fast reasonable shipping.

The Klon I just posted has those same unobtainium diodes I got from them.

Just wanted to follow up that I received the diodes for Klon and King of Tone. All appears legit and measures correct for voltage drop. Once I build out these pedals, I'll post here with how they sound.

Definitely keep us posted! And you can socket to compare standard silicone diodes to see if they sound different. 8)

In my experience, I built one last month, those unobtainium diodes don’t break up as easily.
