If you want something with a BCE pinout, try a 2sc828 or 2sc1815.

Interesting.  Till now I always thought Coloursound were always inductorless.  Now I know they did both.

As NorthCoast and Jimi said, it's BCE, so getting one of the 2SC transistors is your best bet. Unless you want to bend pins.

In a (very) quick search I didn't see much about the original, but a couple vero board versions have 5088s. Makes me think mojo is irrelevant and you want something in the high (400-500 hFE) gain range.
