Title: 2N404A transistor uses?
Post by: soldersqueeze on December 12, 2013, 10:57:48 PM
I have a few 2n404a transistors laying around of the following hfe's and low leakages-
116
92
72
103
108
and was wondering if I can use them for anything fun? I already have a Tonebender and Fuzz Face using these, so I'm looking for some new flavours. I noticed Stomptown used one in a Harmonic Percolator build, so I'll probably start with one of those, but was wondering if there's much else to use them in?

Zombii is a lot of fun!  Its also very unpicky with hfes because the dials kind of bias it.
I also like the soul bender.  Its a bit like a tonebender on steroids imo.

Maybe a Germanium Electra? Rangemaster, Mosrite Fuzzrite.
