Formally "Building A FuzzBox With Devices In Hand"
I've had these PNP Germanium transistor for quite a while.
Open to suggestions for some manner of FuzzBox.

hard as hell finding datasheet for that transistor... doing some fast research on schematics... expect data flood
maybe pick simple fuzz schematic and swap out PNP transistor as experiment...
watch you leg pinouts
try getting Bazz Fuss functional first using those transistors on breadboard since it is easy swapping values on components..
or
then start toying with other Fuzz design circuit elements...
even more advanced FUZZ...
maybe try adding opamp before output with circuit feedback when experimenting with basic Fuzz/distortion..
for overdrive/tone design...
then go from there...

Nice schematic dump.
I want spitting fizzy sputtering.

How many germanium PNP transistors do you have in hand?
try using 2n3904 for any NPN in the schematics...
2n3906 is PNP...

What opamps do you have now on hand?

threw the Electra in there because was looking for easy low part count distortion...
for adding on cd40106 dronebox/effect design...
currently in progress & can review this post on workbench machine...
plus have surplus of 3904/3906 transistors right now...

try 2n3904 transistor
