Cgs synth

Hi,
Im building a VCO from a kit and Im one diode short. The diodes
supplied are 1n4148's. All Ive got are 1n914's. Can I substitute one
of the 914's for the missing 4148?

Thanks

There was a thread a while ago in the [synth diy] list that discussed 1n4148
vs. 1n914 substitution.
The consensus, as I recall, was that there are some minor differences, but
they are not significant in most analogue synth circuits, and that they can
be used interchangeably.....

This may help to find the finer details....

cheers,

In a word, YES.

Yes,
1N914 and 1N4148 can be freely interchanged in 99.99% of cases including this VCO
