I tried making the germanium fuzzrite based on the following layout maybe a week or two ago with sockets for the transistors, but got kinda lackluster results. Anyone made that one and have any advice? If I remember right it was pretty screechy at the fuzzier settings, almost like there was something wrong. Then again i've had the same thing happen with a fuzzface build where it sounded like shit on the breadboard but fine when it got into an enclosure.

I tried it with some 2n5088s as a control, and then with some old soviet germaniums I have, which were reading hfe ~200.

2N5088s in a circuit designed for PNP germaniums?

Very approachable due mainly to his western american roots and southern style hospitality. Just don't get him started about religion. He will talk your ears off about it. But he is a bright yet modest man. I may be able to directly (or ask a mutual friend) to get him to post here. I can only try.
