It's a good pedal but you may want to look at what dino did with a load emulator using a 018 transformer so it works right on single coils. It's been years since I built mine, and I have mostly humbucker guitars so I didn't do it to mine.

Insofar as the 386 is concerned, I had the best results with the N-1 version, which is the lowest power output of the different N models. Using the higher output N-3, or N-4 (I find) diminishes the oscillation capacity. I think the lower the output power from the 386, the better the oscillation and starve sounds are. Of course, YMMV, so socket away.
