I've been using BS170's for clipping stages with nice results.
The other good thing is that it won't take so much space in the circuit board.
BS170 in series with a germanium diode sounds nice too.
Actually that's been done in some commercial/boutique pedals also.
Probably BS107 would be worth a try also. It comes in a TO-92 case too
so it takes same space as BS170.
