What can I make with 3 x MA856 diodes ?

I was picking up some parts in my Panasonic distributor/Service center here in Ireland and just happened to ask them if they had any MA856 diodes, and yes they did, but only 3. Got them for €0.30 each. They ran a stock check for me to see if they could get anymore, but alas none to be found anywhere in Panasonic.

So what can I make with them, I'm one diode short to make a Marshal Bluesbreaker, or one side of a King of Tone. Or maybe make a Bluesbreaker with asymetrical clipping.

I tested the forward voltage on these, and they are 0.91 V, I have some random diodes salvaged from RF TV tuners that have a similar Vf, so maybe I could substitute one of those and at least have 3/4 of the original diodes.

Or does anyone have just one MA856 and doesn't have a good home for it ?
