Use whatever PNP silicons you have.

2N3906, etc

2N3906 seems like it would work ok? thanks ....will follow up with results

BC557 seems to be closer to 2N5087..
(as always, dependend on particular circuit replacement..)

BC560C has gain in the same ballpark as 2N5087, but beware reverse pin order (CBE instead of EBC). Gain is probably not relevant in the circuit you are building.

Thanks everything came out great!

Here's the actual image of the footswitch and mode switch wiring diagram - Photobucket seems to be holding my images hostage:
