Hello guys. Need some help, does the D5 diode act as a protection against reverse voltage in this layout? The link to the layout is below. I have a pedal that has quit working and I'm trying to figure out if this is the problem. If it blew, would the pedal stop working? Testing the diode in circuit, I get the same reading both ways. I know a diode should pass voltage only one way but the in circuit test may be causing my reading to be useless.
