Secret to green ringer

Greg	Secret to green ringer I have finally got my green ringer to work, it sounds just like the original. First project is completed. Instead of using 2N5088 or2n5089 and also 2N4250 transistors(I have tried three different brands, what a pain, for each and my ringer sounded real weak, nothing like my original. What I used was BC548 for the NPNs and BC559 for the one PNP from the schematic at guitar effects projects page. http://soundcorecords.com/guitareffectsprojects/ I think people who have built them in the past have not had them sound like the sound sample now mine does. Good luck Greg
