Thanks for the layout Iggy.

Built it with minor value changes and also tried different diode combinations. Although the regular 2x1n4148 sounds good, there are many interesting possibilities, even with no diodes at all.

My favourite combination was one 1N4148 and one Germanium (don't know exactly which one, I guess it's a 1N60). With this combination, the stompbox sounds a little more dynamic without losing much of the volume. I also really liked the sounding of the pedal with no diode, a light overdriven sound with great interaction with the picking strength. I'll probably box it with a toggle switch to have both possibilities at hand.

Oh, and Iggy, do you have the schematic available?

Thank you once again.
