Diode Question.

[sevenisthenumber]

So....
What makes a 1n4001,1n4002, 1n4003, 1n4007 and so on different?

Next question:
How does the sound in say a (DS1) differ with using 1n4002's vs. 1n4007's?

Thanks!

I'm pretty sure the only difference between them is the max voltages. I think it doubles with every iteration, i.e. 4002 can handle twice the voltage of 4001, 4003 twice voltage of 4002,etc

Ive noticed some mods call for the 4001 in a ds1 and some for the 4002 or 4003? Why do they differ in choice?

  Availability or uniqueness are the only two reasonables that come to mind.
