I just built the newly released Mouse and it's very nice. One question though:

The Germanium distortion level is quite low compared to the other 2 selections. It still sounds great so I can't say the sound quality is diminished - just needs more level.

That is perfectly normal for Ge clipping. Ge clips at a lower voltage (0.3V) than Si (0.7V) or even LEDs (2.0V) which means more of the signal is being lost when compared to Si and LEDs. LEDs clip at a higher voltage so less of the signal is being lost. This is why switching to LED clipping results in higher output.

Thanks for the informative reply. This is a very nice distortion pedal and I very much appreciate the 3 different distortion options - nicely done.
