If anybody has a Way Huge pedal, can you tell me the orientation of diode D3 and diode D6 on the input/output jack relay switching board? Thanks

Way Huge is a brand.  Which pedal?

I know it is a brand. They use this relay switching in most of their pedals so I thought I would have a better chance of getting a response if I asked a basic question. To be specific it is for the Way Huge Green Rhino. Thanks

I google searched "way huge relay schematic" and found a schematic that looks to be correct, but I can't confirm that. That being said, it shows the anode of the diode connected to the transistor, and the cathode (side with line) on the other end of the relay. If you're looking to fix a pedal, I'm not sure how that translates to the pcb layout, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out with a multimeter (in resistor mode, one probe on the correct transistor leg the other on each pad for the diode; the pad with 0 resistance connects to the anode). If you're just looking to create a relay bypass, check out Coda Effect's blog on the topic. Its a nice resource that goes into more depth. I'm not sure how active he is here (I think he is), but he hangs out on the crazy legume forum (rules say we can't say names).
