Ha ha very funny... :hihi: And now after a white of tinkering with trannies it sounds pretty damn mean. I was gonna call it The Angry Englishman but i think The Mean Motherfucker seems a bit more to the point

You better watch out with the name... I think Dave might have a trademark for the Motherfucker. :hihi:
Condolences, the bums lost!

I thought about Small Bear, just looking for alternatives. And aren't they audited for the MKII circuit?
similar gain ranges though, just swap Q2 and Q3 (highest hfe in Q2).
definitely one to breadboard first as it often requires some tweaking of resistor values.

Actually i already got some, and it would be quite a lucky draw to get 3 trannies that really fit in the circuit... It's a really interesting circuit to work on, some have said that Q1 should be low gain for minimal noise, but i got the reverse result, and there wasn't much diffirence in the leakages. That's what i love about fuzz, the only rule is that there is no rules. If it sounds good, it's good.
