I am building MBP Violenzz and Hipster pedals. I am stuck trying to decide on transistors for these circuits. I have a small selection of NPNs and the hFE reading on all of them are ~280-320. The hipster doesn't say it needs anything specific, so I am guessing that I can just use 2 of the same transistor, the lower hFE as Q1 and the higher as Q2.
The Violenzz says that Q2 needs to be double of Q1. Does anyone know what NPN transistors would be in the 500-600 range?
Transistors I have on hand: 2n3440, 2n3904, 2n5087, 2n5088, 2n5457, bc 183 TI, BC549, MPSA18, bs170, BC407B
