MIJ Fuzz Face ( Crazy Face)

MG	MIJ Fuzz Face ( Crazy Face) Hi all! Just picked up a MIJ Fuzz Face clone, was wondering about these transistors, they are labeled Toshiba 2SB54. Anybody know anything about these? Germanium? Silicon? It is a very simple cicuit, I may try to tweak it some, or not, haven't decided. Has a lot of gain, but not much fuzz until you get the fuzz knob crnaked almost all the way up. Thanks in advance for any info about this pedal.
