Hello,
I just finished one and used 1n5's instead, i can't really tell anything odd or weird about it. Sounds like a Mu Tron to me!!
As far as the vactrols, make sure to get a sheet on them that gives you all the different values to make 100% sure you can get as close as you can get to the values.
Rolling your own isnt that hard, ive used black heatshrink, and doubled the layer.. they've worked fine for some tremolo circuits ive breadboarded without any response to outside light.
just make sure you pinch off the ends at the wires by heating the heatshrink and simply pinch it closed when its hot, it will stick and stay shut.
good luck!
