Title: Germanium tranny's for Zombii -resistors!?
Post by: TheCobbenator on May 14, 2011, 04:34:38 AM
Okay. So I ordered my fuzz face set of transistors for my fuzz factory pedals. Do I need to use the resistors that small bear shipped with them for anything? Or discard them, etc?

Thanks!

The resistors are matched to the transistors for proper biasing when building a fuzz face.  As was mentioned earlier they are not needed in this build but don't throw them away.  You never know when you might need an odd value.  ;)
