High-gain 2sb176 - circuit suggestions

[Bret608]

Hi everyone,

In my last Small Bear order I picked up a 2sb176 to try out. Just wanted to see if they would work for something like an FZ-1, germanium FY-2, or germanium Fuzzrite.

So, when I tested this with my Geofex test circuit, I found it has a gain of about 425 and leakage of 0.700mA. Nice! Would this work for any of the circuits mentioned above, and if so which positions (Q1, Q2, etc...)?
