Hi fellas.....I forgot to order a 1n5817 for my green bean build. Is there anything I can sub?

I'm assuming it is for polarity protection, you could just jumper it until you get one in. a 1n5819 would work too. A 1n4001 would probably work but would effect headroom since it has a larger voltage drop.

My assumptions are confirmed by a quick glance at the schematic. I'm not sure how much a 1n4001 would effect the sound but it would work I think.
