Ba282 vs ba283

[kirshman]

Hey guys, building a pedal that calls for ba282.  I'm having a hard time finding them but have some ba283.  Are they swapable?  How similar are they?  Thanks!

Looks like they are pretty similar. Since you haven't told us what you're using them for, there's not much else we can say.

I'm building a king of tone v1 from this site.  They were recommended by several people as a sub for the MA856. So they go in the feedback loop.

Ok. They should be fine in this circuit. In fact, for feedback clipping I suspect the difference between them and any other silicon diode would be pretty subtle at most, but I haven't built this circuit, so who knows.
