Does anyone know what transistors W&C uses on their tall font russian pedal? I'm building up a muff of my own right now and am using the standard transistors, but was wondering what they use. thanks!
I'm wondering this as well. I remember taking one apart a while back and couldn't make out the markings, maybe was blacked out? Anyway I had built a BYOC Green Russian using 2N5089 and though it was a little gainier. My thought was to try 2N5088 to lower the gain a bit.
Also sounds like the resistor that is r23 for madbean is important. 2k for a bolder sound and 2k7 for warmer.
Larger R23 should result in cleaner, less gain (volume) from buffer Q4. Maybe darker (warmer?) due to less overdriven Q4?
