Hi,
i know that many topics were about Dr boogie transistor's ,but i had to open a new topic
My problem is that in my country (Croatia) the j201 is very rare and vvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrry expensive
I found the alternative in a form of a 2N5458 which costs much much less
So the question is what kind of sound will the 2N5458 produce,and which elements do i have to change on the pcb(source resistor,etc.....)

Also those with the expirience of experimetnig with other alternatives I ask of yout to name them and write how do they affect the overal sound
Thx in Advance
