It shows 4 transistors but the PCB clearly requires 5. What transistor should be used for Q5?
Here is the poindexter PDF:

I found this out because I'm building the pedal right now and I only have 4 transistors lol. Does radioshack sell 2N3904 trannies or am I looking at a week wait from smallbear? Or better yet, am I just reading something wrong?
You are correct--the BOM states Q1-Q4, but it requires 5 2n3904. I haven't been to Radio Shack in quite a while so I don't know if you will get lucky there or not. You could always put a call out in the new "Parts Jar" section of the forum---I'm sure someone can get you one. I should have quite a few myself, so I can drop one in the mail to you.
@Madbean if you have a couple I sure could use em. I'd be happy to paypal you a few bucks for your trouble, shoot me an email or private message or whatever its called and I will give you my address.
I appreciate it man - your boards rock too - this is my fifth madbean build!
FYI, radioshack does sell 2n3904s for $1.17
thanks for the offer tho madbean!
You can also get and assortmentfrom ratshack that has 2n3904's, 2n4404's and 2n2222's. UNder five bucks for I think 15 ( five each) or something close to that.
