This is my second build of the Minivache. I used 1N4148s for D1 and D2, opted for D9Es in D3 and D4, and used a 2N5088 for Q1. Initially used just a pair of D9Es which worked very well but then decided to try asymmetrical clipping - there is a subtle difference. Board is from Osh Park, D9Es from an ebay seller, and all other bits from Small Bear. This one puts on some nice warm grit and stacks very well with other pedals.
Here's the box:
