Here is a good thread on comparing with cheaper 1n914s and 1n4001s.
Apparently there is not a huge difference in sound per this thread. That being said you can get some MA856s here:
And some 1S1588s as well:

Both sides sound pretty good. Some slight differences here and there but very comparable. Small Bear sells a FDH900 In place of the MA856.
I may just take the reaming and order from pedalhacker. Hopefully they’re legit. Thanks!

I have ordered some from pedalhacker and several other components, they have always been legit thus far. Just so you know.

Ive bought those MA856's and 1s1588's from him off eBay ....he was a little slow shipping ,most sellers have day jobs i understand that ...but he's a good seller . Paid $2.00 each for the MA's didn't care so much lotta hype behind this pedal. My dog ears can't hear a difference between the Sub's I've tried....but looks good with those in there tho !

Reverse that.
Oh, I'm glad I asked!
It's odd that the video title said ''MA856/1S1588 diodes that Analogman uses VS the more readily available 1n914/1n4001'' not respecting the same order when saying about each configuration (former as former, latter as latter).
So, you have used
1n4001 as MA856
and
!n914 as Is1588?

I used 1N4148 as MA856 and 1N914 as 1S1588.
Others have used other diodes for MA856 though.
