Clipping switch
The clipping switch allows you select between different sets of diodes.
The center position of the toggle switch is the stock Guv'nor clipping arrangement, which has one LED in
each direction. The upward position of the toggle is two diodes in each direction, a slightly lower clipping
threshold, while the downward position is one diode in each direction like in the Shredmaster.
If you look at the schematic, you'll see that the LEDs, D2 and D3, are always connected. However, in
either the up or down switch positions, the lower-threshold diodes are connected and so the LEDs have
no effect—there's no signal remaining for them to clip.
The only thing to be aware of is that since the Guv'nor does not have a gain recovery stage after the
clipping diodes & passive tone stack like the Shredmaster, the diodes will directly affect the maximum
volume of the unit. Using the diodes with the lowest threshold (one 1N914 in each direction), you'll find
that you have to crank the volume knob pretty high to get unity.
