Default Re: Transistors wanted

The pedal makers of the late 60s / early 70s used the cheapest functioning transistors they could find, which at that time meant Ge types as they were obsolescent and being sold off relatively cheaply. That's why you find them built with OC45s (obsolete RF) and similar oddball types.
