Help selecting right clipping diode

[Rock_on]

sorry, I don't speak tagalog. Anyway, heres another build that I think will suite your needs.. Just use a blue LED and any npn darlington. I remembered using 2 s9014 transistors wired as a darlington pair. I skipped the thickness control by putting in a 100nF cap from input to base of the transistors. Sad to say, the electra just cant cut it for paramore. At least for me.

OMG JACKPOT!! I HAVE LOTS OF S9014!!! HAHAHAHA... MY MOM WOULD THROW OUR OLD WALKIE TALKIES BUT I TOOK IT AND KEEP THE PCB (WITH THE PARTS INSTALELD)

IT HAS SO MANY S9014 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... THANKS FOR THAT.. I'LL MAKE ANOTHER DISTORTION... ANYWAY ISN'T THAT AN OVERDRIVE?? THE DIODES IN ON THE FEEDBACK PATH??

heres a diagram. Kindly study it and be sure of the pinouts and must use  npn transistors.

WHAT I MEAN IS THE WAY THE BIG MUFF PI  DID IT...


SORRY FOR BIG CAPS. OR KB IS BROKEN... AND SORRY I DID RAD YOUR REPLIES QUICK THAT'S WHY I DIDNT SEE YOUR REPLY ABOUT THAT S9014 DISTORTION (OVERDRIVE I REALLY THINK HAHA)

EDIT:
what do you mean here "Sad to say, the electra just cant cut it for paramore. At least for me." is there something wrong or does it lack something??

caps is working now

im done doing it..

my goodness it is more harsh than my electra even if my guitar is all the way down at volume... it's sound with my guitar volume all the way down is same to my electra mid of mid gain volume in my guitar all the way up......

my electra is better now.. i put 100k input to ground... idk why but the scheme you gave me is... speechless.. cant say anything


EDIT:

oops sorry for many mistakes.......... now i know why.. i dont have an emitter resistor installed..

try grounding the emitter directly.

not always stable, but max gain possible. i do that often.
