Tone Bender MK III with Russian Transistors.
This is a Tone Bender MK III PCB. I used Russian germanium transistors in this build. Q1 and Q2 are MP39B transistors with an hFE of 48. Q3 is a GT308B with an hFE of 90.
I socketed the transistors just in case my speculation about these transistors turns out to be incorrect. Although, I think they're going to be awesome. Note that Q3 has nonstandard pinout. I had to twist the legs.
I'll be curious to hear how this sings.
