Hey guys I am trying to finish up a systech od build and the doc calls for a 2n5172.
I have searched high and low on Google and cannot seem to find an answer for a substitute tranny so I figured ask the knowledgeable folks of the madbean forum.
So is there a more common substitute or should I just order one?
Thanks in advance guys.
Richard
According to what I found on the internetz...
BC548A
2N2222
Both of these are listed as "Very Close" replacements. Be sure to check pinout ;D
Awesome I have some 2n2222's. Thanks Greg
Sweet! Looks like the pinouts match too.
Give'em a try! 8)
Worked like a charm despite making a few bonehead mistakes (connected tip to ground and sleeve to in, and the power jack backwards.) lol.
Thanks again man.
GREAT! Glad you got it working.
Next step.... Pics and demo 8)
Well I can do a demo and a gut shot but its in the enclosure i use to test boards before they get a permanent home. I am definitely slacking when it comes to build reports though. :-[ :D

Basically this thing sounds like the Harmonic Energizer run into a fuzz pedal. It nails the tone on Pojama People.
And a pic of the populated board
