what are commonly available silicon PNP's? because when i ask for a PNP transistor at my local electronic shop they allways go like "PNP is old germanium stuff we only got some old ac128's here. they don't even look into their huge collection of transistors and i'm sure they've got some somewhere.

this might be a good topic to ask for common NPN Ge's too  :)

Well, there are 2N3906, basically a PNP 3904.  I'm sure there are more but being a newb I don't know what they are. :icon_razz:

2N5087. aron sells them in the store http://www.diystompboxes.com/cart/
About half way down the page. I have used these in a Tonebender, rangemaster, and a
fuzz face and have good luck with them.

2N5087
BC557B
2N3096
BF-41
BC307A
DA3-309 ( odd markings but it's Si PNP )
AM-363 ( again odd but Si PNP)

Top three are the usual suspects :D

2N2907 is a lower gain version that Radio Shack used to have/may still.   :icon_cool:
