Re: smallsound/bigsound Team Awesome! Fuzz Machine

Any hFE reports from a working (Consistent gate function) NPN version?
I have been looking at this one for quite some time.

I have sacks of PNP germaniums lying around, but most are like 50-80 hfe. Thanks for the advice Hoss.
I also loved that text on one of your boards about adopting a kitty (think that was yours)

Just one question: the Gate function sounds like I remember it sounding (an ex-band mate had a TAFM on his board), but engaging it seems to max out the fuzz. Is this normal?
I used a BAT41 and a 1N5819 for the Shottkeys... I'm wondering if that could be the reason...
Appreciate any help offered. Cheers.
