Diode Clippers (pair) 6-way Selector Switch

There's a very small 6-way rotary switch with space for 6 different pairs of clipping devices. Clippers are mostly diodes of different kinds, but LEDs and FETS can be used on the PCB as well.  It can be used in place of any distortion or overdrive clipping pair in any circuit, for example  Distortion Plus™, Tube Screamer™, Rat™, etc.
