Terry	TRansistor replacements for Hogs Foot BAss Booster Can anyone tell me a suitable replacement for 2n5133's whicih the hog's foot bass booster schematic requires ?     Would any NPN to92 transistor work (such as mpsa18 or 2n3906)         THANX

Ben	Following "R.G. Keen's Law of Substitution", you might try the 2N5088 and see how that works......

Gus	2n3906 is a PNP the 2n3904 is a npn. 2n3904 should work

Terry	Ok thanx, yah 2n3904 is what i meant, typo...would mpsa18 work also?

Dave Chun	Any high gain NPN should work fine. The unit's not designed as a distortion device, just a gentle booster. Overdrive it with another hot signal, and you may start to notice differences between transistors. FWIW I always use 2N5089s for this sort of thing.

Terry	Is it possible to replace the i/o caps to a larger value to get more bass out of the unit?         THanx1

tboy	Only if the stock values are limiting the bass response, which would seem unlikely in a bass booster, wouldn't it?         --tboy
