Six String Stringer

[huntest]

I'm building the Six String Stinger pedal and trying to decide whether to use the indicated in5817 diode or sub in a germanium D9K or D9G.
I have all three on hand and can't decide.

Any suggestions? I used germanium on my Zen Drive and really like it.

I'm using Fairchild jfet j201s.
Thanks

That's a protection diode. You do not want to change it. It's not in the signal path. And this isn't a build report.

I'm all for it. Try out both Soviet diodes in place of the Schottky. Hell that's how we learn

I'd like to but I'm not great at removing and replacing tiny components.
