Building a Germanium Meathead

Can a Germanium Meathead be build by just reversing the electro caps?  Here is the schematic I will be using.

yes, if you use PNP ge's. it's just a FF variant, of course...so you may want to experiment with R2 and you may not need  (or use smaller) C3 & 4

Great and thanks!  I'll breadboard it.  I wonder why there aren't many germanium meatheads made?

That question was already answered. It is a Fuzz Face with the fuzz maxed out with a set 1K resistor.
