Diode Clipping Section of VFE Triumvirate

Hi everyone,

Was just going over the schematic for the VFE Triumvirate and noticed that the diode clipping section in the treble part of the circuit has a link joining all four diodes (cathodes of D3 and D5 + anodes of D4 and D6).  Not sure I've seen this arrangement before and wondered if someone could provide a little explanation of the pros/cons of the "jumper"?

I had always wondered about that too. I read somewhere a while back that it doesn't make a difference if it's connected in the middle or not. I've done it both ways on a tubescreamer circuit and it sounded the same to me.
