Parentheses Mini Fuzz - Which GE diodes D2 and D3?

Which germanium diodes specifically do you guys suggest placing in D2 and D3 on the Parentheses Mini Fuzz?

Most will work fine as long as they are matched for Vf. I used 1n5817s in a few of mine and it sounds great.

Thanks! Do I need to buy those matched or can I test them with a multimeter?

Use the diode function on your multimeter

Is 1N5817 a schottky diode?

Always been using D9K and they are great. The "false" Tayda 1N34A work also. Just be sure to match them as said before.
