Fuzz Face or similar project. Suggestion for transistors I have on hand

[funkjunk2]

Since my son and I enjoyed out little amplifier project I am looking for another simple little project to do.  When we cannabalized the parts for the amp project, we also stripped out a handful of transistors.  From my reading, it seems like these could be used to make a fuzz box of some type but not sure if the ones we have would be good for it.  Can any of you shed light on this and make a suggestion?  Is there a better use for some of these than a fuzz?


Here is what I have:

Sanyo 2SA203B
Sanyo 2SA202B
Sanyo 2SA354

A684
A678
A561

C458
C734
C945
C1318
C828
C1318

2N2905A

715ES

2SC1416A

536FV (hemispherical top style with gold legs)  only 1 of these

Do any of these have better potential or jump out as worth it or do I just need to experiment.  I know the first three are Germanium but no idea if they would be good for this project.  Once again I am trying to keep this as a no cost/low cost fun project using junk I have.  We have an aluminum housing that should work good from an old modem.  I have input and output jacks and some 47K and 50K pots as well as a 100K pot and various resistors, caps and diodes.

first get a testing device and find the properties of the transistors along with googling the data sheets on them . information needed is the forward gain and current leakage of the bjts

than you need to get some test circuits up and operational for further testing after categorizing

the bear and geo flex will guide you along

if your "715ES" is the same transistor as the 715F I used in my guzz fase build, you could pair it with a low gain power driver (there should be one in your list) to build your own guss face (you'll have to search for the thread).

the 2SA202/3 datasheet suggests very low hFE, they might suit a smallbear ohmydarling, or similar. and if you can find a silicon pnp on that list, try a bosstone fuzz.
