Fuses as clippers?

I heard a weird rumor that some pedals employ glass-fuses as clippers instead of diodes and transistors...
Does anyone know anything specific? Schematics? Pics?

Yeah, they clip under high load...
But only once.

I guess you can use a diode for a fuse, kinda, but you definitely can't use a fuse as a diode.

The same as you can tune a piano but you can't tuna fish...

Yeah I wanted to use reverse wound diodes but could not find any.

It's probably more efficient to use fuses as jumpers

I'm going to guess someone just say some glass germanium diodes and confused them with fuses.
