I've noticed that the 1176 transistors are hard to come by in the USA and I ended up subbing several transistors (found matches here). Will it still sound ok?

I used:
BF245A = 2N5458
BC107  = 2N5088
BC560  = 2N5087


EDIT: looks like some alternates are given on some of the schematics. I see on the Rev G (or maybe later) schematic with the opamp input that there are alternate transistors given right in the original factory schematic:
BF245A = 2N5457 (similar to the 2N5458 I have above but distorts quicker)
BC107  = 2N2391A
BC560  = 2N5087

NOTE I say = (equals) but really I mean it's a substitute as given by the original MFG.
