69 pedal

Rich	69 pedal Hey! I built one of those '69 pedals and its great! I played around with various germanium transistors until I got what I thought sounded good. I use it to front an overdriven tube amp and thats where it shines but it sounds crappy if its used with a clean amp. The key to this design is the bias control on the input. It lets you add or remove just enough muddy frequency. I was looking for some feedback from anyone else that built this guy . If so, what transistors did you use?
