HI,
I want to do a variation of the Keeley SEM mod. I already did the caps and replaced one diode with the LED. I want to do a quick way to switch between the two diode setup and the diode/LED setup.
Here's my idea. To describe what I'm talking about, I'll break the clipping section into two sides; one side will have the diode and the other side will be switchable. On the side that's switchable, I want to have the diode and led wired parallel(both biased the same direction). The parallel pair will have a switch wired in series with the diode. My thinkning is that with the switch open, the LED will have a higher headroom. When I swithc in the diode, it will clamp down the headroom and act just like the original diode/diode clipping.
Does this make sense/ will it work?
thanks,

Yep, that'll work, no worries. Smart thinking.
Cool, thanks. Sometimes I can only hear the difference in things if I can quickly switch between them.
thanks,
Al
