Hey there, I had found two diodes among the parts that came with my cabinet. They are some 13Z6Fs. I searched everywhere, there's no stock for this diode anymore. Does anybody know or has ever seen this logo on a diode or else? Maybe some chinese, japanese company? (Picture attached) Thanks for help!
Great thanks for that! I guess it could be hard to get some more of them. I use them for clipping in a fuzz circuit and they sound just great. It also says 3.9V Zener. The Vf is kind of different from another (one has 0.55V, the other 0.7V). May I use some different zeners with those forward voltages and achieve the same result?

This is not an exact science, and what sounds good for someone sounds bad for the next one. Get a few from different manufacturers and just try them until you find some that sound the way you like it. Get current zeners for a few cent. Avoid wasting your money on historic components from that exact manufacturer from dubious resellers.
