Ehien,

In fact, what you speak of is done rather often nowadays over in bottlehead forum.

They call this the reverse recovery snubber and it eats up the reverse recovery spike from UF4007 diodes in the Foreplay preamp. The 20ohm resistors can benefit from being slightly inductive.

Some people claim that the snubber with the UF's is better than simply using FREDs as diodes.
