Pls Help with Thunderpuss Transistor

[sliptongue]

Hi all, I am newbie to DIY stompbox projects, and thank you to this site which encourages me to do my first WIP Thunderpuss Project. I have some questions to ask:

1. I have difficulty in getting BS170 or 2N7000 transistors.. is there any good substitution for that?
2. What if I use 2N5458?? Would it cause problems? Coz its a JFET not MOSFET.
3. What will happen if I use JFET Transistor in Thunderpuss?? Will it become a Gain booster or something? Or it won't work at all?

I would appreciate for any guidance for my questions here. I'm sorry if my English is bad, coz I'm Indonesian  

Regards,

1. Have you tried Tayda Electronics? I'm fairly certain they'll ship to you.
2. No, a JFet will not work in place of a MOSFET.
3. It won't work.
