PNP equivalent to BC183?

[mordechai]

I built up a fuzz face with two BC183C transistors -- which sounded really lovely.  With some additional caps placed in the circuit, it really sounds warm and very similar to germaniums.

I'm thinking the BC183C would work really well in the Q1 position of a hybrid Si/Ge fuzz.  But most of my NPN germaniums don't have the right gain to be in the Q2 position, and are really leaky...and don't really sound awesome anyway. 

So is there a PNP silicon transistor that has very similar qualities to the BC183C? 

Alternately...would it be possible to use the BC183C in the Q1 position, but "flip" a PNP Ge transistor in Q2 the way Vex flipped his Ge transistors in the Fuzz Factory to work in an NPN circuit?  (or is flipping only one of the transistors in a Fuzz Face a no-no?)

Russian gt402b (pnp) gt404b (npn) can be used. So, do you need germanium npn  transistor with high hFE or silicon one?

Try a BC560

Thanks folks.  I have some BC560 -- never used them in anything but a boosting stage but I'll try them in this.  I'll also look out for the 213's.
