  1. Can anyone think of a reason why the mode switch on an Expandora can’t be something like a 2K pot rather than using multiple switches?

    2. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Or to get closer to this version, maybe a 220r minimum and a 2k pot. Cool. Thanks J. This looks like a nice version. I may have to steal steal some of these simple mods to sweeten the Expandora I already built.

  2. This is verified. Decided to give it a try since I hadn't built anything new in a bit. Sounds good. Especially liked the germanium diodes in this one. Thanks for the layout.

  3. What germanium diodes are recommended for this pedal? Or which do you guys prefer?

    1. Drunk Beaver seems to prefer soviet diodes. I tend to like D9K's in just about everything. But in this case, I used 1N34A's.

    2. Thanks! I'll ebay some d9ks ASAP! Does the stripe colour matter that much when ordering?

  4. They look like this https://www.musikding.de/Germanium-Diode-D9K_1 Also, it doesn't always matter, but the stripes on these diodes usually mark the anode not the cathode.
