Given the position of the diodes in the circuit, germanium devices would make the signal smaller, so you would need to increase the gain of the last stage of the clipper in order to make it up. LEDs have a higher forward voltage, so the signal will need to be attenuated slightly.

Read the page!! please!!! RLED = resistor for LED: The LED resistors can be selected as needed. If you are using common LEDs, 1k to 2k2 would be appropriate. If you are using any of the super-bright modern LEDs for their unique colors, the resistors can be much higher, 10k to 33k
