Silicon Fuzz Face Transistors

I was looking at a few transistor sources for a simple Fuzz Face layout I built and came across a nice post over at DIYSB by DragonFly

smooth….
q1: 2n2369a (hfe 70-90)
q2: 2n3903, 2n3904 (hfe around 100-120)

slightly aggressive….
q1: 2n3903 (hfe 100-120)
q2: 2n3904, 2n2222a, 2n4401, bc108 (hfe 140-200)

gnarly….
q1: bc108 (hfe160-200)
q2: bc108, bc109, 2n5088 (hfe 200-350)

over the top….
q1: bc108 (hfe 180-220)
q2: bc109c, 2n5089, mpsa18 (hfe 400-500)

stoopid….

q1: 2n5088, 2n5089, bc109, mpsa18
q2: 2n5089, mpsa18
also…for a nice “all-arounder”, 2n3903’s work well in both q1 AND q2 ….

Looking in to others also but I wanted to get this down to archive it.
