2SC536

[1878]

Hello Everyone.

I've got 10 x NOS 2SC536 trannies and I'm wondering what to build with them. I know the Vox Super Fuzz and Shin-Ei FY2 used them, any other suggestions ??

Cheers.

There is nothing particularly distinctive about them.  You could probably use them for a Big Muff if you felt like it.

Sorry yeah, the question was a bit vague...

Are there any effects 'closely associated' with these trannies. I've got my hands on various 'mojo' parts recently, so I'd like to put them all together and see if it actually makes a difference in sound.

Yo

  As far as fuzzes go those are the only ones that come to mind. Looks like you could build a Superfuzz and 2 FY2's!

Don't forget the hfe ranking letter on most (that we use) Japanese silicons. With 2SC536 you have D- hfe 60 to 120, E- 100 to 200, F- hfe 160 to 320, G- hfe 280 to 560, and H- hfe 480 to 960.
