so i guess my question is not really about the black ice, but rather, what can go there instead of caps or diodes, and change the sound with no extra power?

oh, and a follow up question, where can i get the low voltage schottky diodes that i need for this project? i live in nyc and there's gotta be a place i can just walk up and buy them, right? if not, where can i find them online, and what would be the exact type, or item number, that is low enough voltage to clip from just my pickups output?

hi, i came across a mod from stewmac called the "black ice". it replaces the cap on the guitars tone knob, clips with proper pu output, and doesn't require a battery. i guess it really just a low voltage diode. does anyone know like, what else other than a cap or a diode, i could throw in there? anything that wouldn't require a battery. like, if i put the right kind of oscilator in there, would it do anything? i mean, i never use the tone knob anyway, and don't want an onboard battery powered set up, but i would be willing solder in a cheap something-or-other, to get an interesting effect. thanks
