Well, looks like I need a new transistor. (P-2356)

Anyone have one, or a dead boomerang wah to pull one from?

I just started a thread here as well...

Scratch that! :badteeth:

Turns out it only needed 2 resistors replaced. One was out of spec, and made the output weak; and another which contributed to the hiss.

I should be picking it up later today! :party:
