I'm not sure at what stage it's oscillating so props for pointing me in the right direction.
I'll hook up the osciloscope and see if I can find what op-amp is causing trouble to at least remove half the components from the equation.

The small 51pF C4 capacitor across the diodes works as a low pass filter, softening the corners of the clipped waveform and mellowing out the high end of the distortion.

I was scared to fit a readily available 56pf on c4 (c2 on my diagram) because I didn't want to sacrifice high tones, but I'll give it a pop, huge resistor in diodes is a great candidate too, I'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the feedback and I'll definetly not arrange my diagrams like this in the future, it was my first diagram ever, I'm a coder and my code is bad and spaghetti like so I guess that bled into my electronics.
