Caesar Chorus - Zener diode alternative?

[ridgedchips]

I recently ordered all the parts I needed to assemble the Caesar chorus project, only to discover that I had forgotten to order the 9.1V Zener diode. Are there any common diodes that I could substitute?

I used this one on my latest build and the pedal sounds amazing,

I'm getting antsy reading about good everyone's builds are- I'm literally missing 2 ICs that are in the mail, and USPS is running super behind right now.

You don't actually need the Zener diode for functionality. It provides reverse polarity protection mainly. The pedal will function perfectly fine without it.
