Germanium > LED series diode connection??????

[GrantsV]

I love the crunch of LED's but the compression of Germanium Diodes in the distortion section of my pedals.

If I were to run a Germanium Diode in series with a LED would this give me the compression of the GE into the crunch of the LED???  Or would one cancel the other out?

Thanks for your advice,
