*The stock transistors give highly variable, very gated results, which may not
be to everyone’s taste. That’s all part of the charm of this box. However, if you
want to make it a bit more ‘normal’ you can try subbing some other stuff in
there. 2N5088 work well in Q1-2, and other medium gain NPN cans may offer
good results. A lower gain darlington for Q3 will tame things a bit. MPSA13
worked well in reducing the gating, but the legs will need twisting. See later in
the doc for details.
The optional alternatives supplied with the kit are MPSA06, which have the
same pinout as 2N5089, and BC517 which is different to the 2N5306 - see over.
