hey im new around here

[freeradical24]

and also new to building effects.im starting with a univox superfuzz.the transistors specified came with the base on the outside.so i was wondering if on the schematic the base is always in the middle or if it would directectly corelate to the specified transistor.

The six  transistors I can see in the Geofex schem all have the bases in the center - this is the standard representatiotn.

Are you looking at a pcb layout?

hope that helps.

Yes, the Base is always show in the middle in schematics. The pin with an arrow is the Emitter (pointing out = npn, in = pnp), which can be sometimes drawn as the upmost pin -- tho I've rarely seen that, myself -- and the one left is the Collector.

Ciao.

:x I have had bad luck finding right transistor pinouts not very often but after lurking in this forum sitting on my ass I can tell it´s best to double and triple check the transistor legs orientation and which pin is what. Guess I was lucky because mostly use common and easily available transistors. But what I believe you can make a superfuzz with just ordinary silicon transistors.

But off topic anyhow there is a very nice site with lots of killer info about superfuzz and relatives, the author is a member at this site and he is a nice guy, helped me once

Why are you having a difficult time finding transistor datasheets?

Unless the transistors are hard to find, most silicon transistor data can be found using google. Just search (for example):

2N5088 datasheet

That will give you a listing of the datasheet for the transistor which includes the pinout.
