MPF102 or 2N5457 will work almost as well as J201 , MPF102 is slightly lower gain.

95% of the sound change will come when you sub the lower jfet...  forget about the top one, especially in this circuit.  Just drop in any n-fet and see how you like the sound...  2N3819, 2N5457, J201, 2SK170, BF245, etc. etc.

In the DIY Faq there's a list of FET substitutions for the J201, there's a long list.
