I think yer right? It sounds germanium too? Transistor Hfe 120-165ish range, colorsound one knob is a very forgiving circuit wether it's germanium or silicon. I think it has something to do with the smallish capacitor across Q1's base & collector? it really helps shape its sound? one of my favorite fuzz face variants, btw 2n2222a metal can & 2n3904 transistors sound good for silicon version. Good luck on yer build.
