I built an Electra Circuit on a breadboard and tested out a bunch of different clipping diodes. I was looking for a subtle, amp-like breakup for rhythm guitar. The schematic can be found in Joe Gore's Build your own stomp box PDF from premier guitar. The transistor was a 2n3904. Gain and volume controls were adjusted to be consistent between clips and the clips were all normalised in the DAW.
A comma indicates that two different diodes are being used in series (1n34a,1n4148). X2 indicates that two of the same type of diode are being used in series (1n34ax2). A hyphen indicates that the diodes on either side are clipping either side (top or bottom) of the wave (1n34a-1n4148).

Guitar: Gretsch Pro Jet.
Amp: Marshall AVT50
Mic: Shure SM7b.
