Biggest problem is that I can't buy MPSA18
I have other parts.
Stores don't sell anymore MPSA18 transistor.
So I need to find another transitor that works for this project.
Also It would be very good if the fuzz tone remains the same as in video.

Hi DSM,

I've heard that a good replacement would be a 2N5088. Very easy to find.
But if you need to find the exact match you can go here:

Bââââ.

Try with others NPN Darlington Transistors. I think it will work.

Perhaps you can make your own Darlington with a pair of bog standard NPNs. Try Googling "Darlington Pair", theres lots of info about how to go about it.
Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.
