Thanks, but thats for the MK2, and their article on the Park Fuzz and MK3 dose not have the transistors listed.

Did you want to clone one of those? Any set of devices that will work in the 3-Knob Tonebender will do. SKU 0101 in my Stock List.

You are quite right. Sorry about that. :icon_redface:

They do refer to them as "Unmarked PNP Germanium Transistors" so I would think any Tonebender-worthy PNP germanium would be acceptable.

Unless... that is.... you are trying to build one totally to original specs. In that case, you may have a long road ahead. :-X

Good Luck ;D

Just wanted to know for "academic" ??? reasons, would be nice to know what made them tick, but having trouble finding anything close to a definitive answer, just recommendations.
