KLON DIODE SHOOTOUT (a youtube classic!)

Classic breadboard Diode Shootout in a KLON Centaur circuit
I lined up all the diodes I have and ran the same samples through them.
You get decide which you like best!
Guess which ones I put into the pedal after the shootout?

Is this IN60 P glass encapsulation diode the same as Germanio? It looks like the IN4148, is there any way to test it?

I don't know, the only thing I can go by is how they sound and even that varies within the same designation. My journey into diode magic has taught me to just go with what sounds good, and I occasionally change them when I feel something different - it's great to know what's going on inside the pedal and be able to make those changes.
