Just noticed the Doxie calls for a 4v7 zener in D7, which I forgot to order. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I could sub something close enough without running the sound or function of the stock pedal. I have available:

1N5234B 6.2v
1N4001
1N5817
1N5227B 3.6v
1N5239B 9.1v
1N5223 2.7v
1N4742 12v
1N5226B 3.3v
1N5231B 5.1v
1N4739 9.1v
1N5232B 5.6v

If voltage and that it's a zener are the only factors that matter it looks like my closest choices would be 1N5227 3.6v for a step below spec and 1N5231 5.1v for a step above spec. Thanks for any advice!
 
Considering that D7 is just being used as a clipping element, any near value Zener should sub nicely. I'd go with the 1N5231 5.1V Zener.
