The first circuit is pointless. You will get the same sound if you remove one diode from each direction.
The second circuit makes more sense if you want more output and less compression.
It also depends on the type of diodes involved and the context of the circuitry around the diodes, e.g. are the diodes used in the feedback loop of an opamp or as shunt at the output of the opamp ?
are these circuits the same?
