Mystery Meat (PRS Horsemeat)

Wow this is the first time I’ve seen this review. I’ve always just thought this was a Klon variant given the name. I’d like to see the schematic for this as well.
 
from that schematic - what is the purpose of the diodes in parallel? That won't reduce the Vf (not like resistors in parallel). I think the diode with the lower Vf will conduct first and then the other doesn't conduct. Is there some reason it's done that way?

That 137k value for the first stage just seems like its there to be fancy. Can’t imagine it sounds any different than two 150’s…. Which also seems odd because no one buying the pedal would know it was fancy…. Anyways.

Yeah, that first stage is just a buffer, so presumably the designer was targeting a 137k input impedance? Which is kinda low. The designer also seems to have a preference for using the inverting opamp input. It's definitely full of stuff I haven't encountered - I don't have enough knowledge to know if those are clever innovations, or just wacky. :unsure: "Mystery" indeed!
