Im thinking about this as a graphic for my Germanium Fuzzrite.  It's my Barry Lyndon theme.

It's gonna be difficult to make out the detail when it's down at your feet. I'd simplify it a bit.

I have a few different ones id like to try.  I got some from another forum member that i think will sound good.  They have a great deal of treble.  I also have a few oc75's and a fuzz face us pair from small bear that i want to try.

I just tested all my transistors and the 2n404's i got from julien sounded the best.  They have alot of bite.  All the others sounded good, but lacked the top end sizzle that i associate with a fuzzrite.  I have three pairs left.  If youd like to try them, i can send you a pair.  Just pm me.

With the 2n404's, i felt like it sounded the best with similar gains on both transistors.  I tried them both in the 100 range and the 140 range and they both sounded great.
