Magic Diodes for Bass Klon?

[Bio77]

I'm building up a bass Klon using Chuck's mods: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/bass-klon.24042/

I have a stash of Ge diodes to choose from. Came from a PIF I received last year. I'll probably sample a few in the circuit before committing, but wondered if there were any guidelines or recommendations? Or is it all BS and I should throw some BATs in there??

I just put some russian d9 x in mine. I measured and out 2 that were around .33 as i recall. Was just aiming for around .3-.35

Curious if on bass 2 pair in series parallel would be beneficial given the generally stronger signal of a bass.

There’s definitely a sound difference. But IMHO, the klon is a boost with a gain pot. That being said, I had one on my bass board the whole time I was gigging. I used 1n34As. I really like the D9 x though.
