2SK30A for 2SK44

[rockhorst]

I've been asked to convert an Ibanez CP9 back from a relay bypass to the stock buffered bypass. For that I have to put 2 FETs back in, and a few resistors and diodes. The FETs listed on the schematic are 2SK44 but I've seen it mentioned that the 9 series also used 2SK30A, which is what I can actually get. It's not a big investment, but could someone confirm that this will work fine?

I can't guarantee it will work fine, but 2SK30A was used in earlier variants of JFET switching, so there's no obvious reason it would not work. There may be some details to mess with.

Will work fine. Ibanez/Maxon uses this substitute (amd others) in many cases.

Cool beans I gathered as much, as all the other part values in the switch section seemed to match as well.
