Germanium Diode OA1182

Theyre doing their job. But use extra care bending these hard legs, glass just want one thing : to break.
Bought 2 more (had 2 with the hm-2 pedal kig) cause i broke one. I finally broke two but could happily use the two others.

I bought these in case I broke the ones that came with The Foxx. I did indeed break one.
Use tweezer to hold the leg close to the diode then bend the leg using pliers. Careful when you oush them into the PCB, glass doesnt bend, it breaks.

I made the same mistake as so many other people and broke my first two of these diodes while bending the legs on my first project so I ordered a few more. Once I figured it out how to bend them properly (hold the leg with tweezers right beside the diode and bend carefully) I had no issues and my project (Der Cranker) sounds great!

Also, shipping from Germany to Canada for just a few small parts was faster than regular mail within Canada!
