  One day soon I'm definitely going to build this here diode filter and
  I'll do it with socket for the diodes, try different ones and let you all
  know how it sounds...

  ...maybe I'll wind up leaving it with all different combinations of
  diodes as another "secret weapon filter" :)
  ...or have switches to swtich different diodes in and out...
  ...or a clock input that runs a counter, that runs some multiplexors
  that'll switch different diodes in and out at audio frequencies!
  (whoops! sorry - wrong thread!  :)
