not sure what to think. maybe they're worth a try? the resistance ratings look good for compressors, anyways.

I got it to work in the Ugly Face. I have 4 more left that will hopefully be tested in an EZ Vibe soon.
They also have vintage 2n128 germanium transistors for a $1.00 each.... haven't ordered any, though.
