How critical are these resistor values to the Punkifier's circuit?

I've had my half finished Punkifier project sitting untouched for a while because I don't have any 22M resistors, but how critical is this value to the pedal anyway?  The resistors in question are R37 and R32 right next to the 2n5088s in the fuzz section.  I don't really see the purpose of them being there in the first place.

Thanks for any help!

I'd just try it with the biggest value resistors you have, and stick a 22M in when you happen to get some.  I bet it does something.  Fuzzes are mysterious in their needs.

I wouldn't bother putting it in as you already have 1010K from VCC to base through the 10K collector& the 1M feedback resistors.
The 22M resistor reduces the resistance from 1010K to about 965K.
I dont think it will make much difference but if you insist on including them, two 10M in series for each would be ok.

Thanks guys.  I'll finish the build and laugh in the face of DOD and their 22M resistors.
