Cole	Re: SolaSound tone bender transistors FWIW, the best sounding Sola clone I've made was with three 2N527s, with Hfe from 89-112 (lowest gain in first position, highest in the last.) It has a great fuzz sound and cleans up beautifully with the guitar volume knob. Believe it or not, I've had very good results with 2N3906 transistors in the first 2 positions and a 2SB495 (gain 132) in the last position.
