Liam	Re: Don't buy AC128s from Farnell UK!! RG, After a bit of digging around at work I found some NKT163 and NKT164. The closest to the required Hfe I could find were 84 and 85. I've fitted them but although the unit now sounds pretty good, it's not fuzzy enough! Would you recommend I change the resistors to get a bit more gain - or try to get some more suitable transistors? I'd buy some from you, but I'm waiting until all the things I want from you are in stock before I place an order. Since I'm in the UK I don't want to pay for more than one lot of shipping costs.
