Any advice with which ones of these to Go highly appreciated.
OC75, OC81M, OC81DM, OC82D
Thanks!

I don't think the trannies matter as much as the ears of the builder.

that said, are you registered over at the D*A*M forum? they live for questions such as these.

What Dev said. OC75's sound good in that circuit.

But I have also built 1.5's with AC125, 128, 151, and various other transistor combos that sounded good.

AC128 is my preference.

NKT274/OC42 combo!

seriously though, its all about the gains not the numbers on the transistor case.

Thanky guys. My decision is OC75.

and soon i have to order some stuff at ghost effects, i think...

OC75...
But measure their HFEs...

hehe yeah fair enough, OC75s seem to be the reliable choice for most circuits it seems, though get this - i have NEVER used them in any pedal!

used just about every other OC series transistor but not the 75!
i had a creepy mk1 a while ago with all oc75s in, sounded great, but no greater than other mk1s i have done myself with alternative transistors in there.

i have an absolute humdinger new pedal coming up very soon!

i do not build stuff myself. i give money to others to build it :cool:

i got one of your mind rockers (i think kosta was the originall owner) and i'm very impressed of it. got a great sond idea with that too. so i think i need to get some others. buzzaround, doom bender and harbinger are tempting. but sounds of today also... hmmm :)*

so what is the new pedal? :animal:

My guess is that he's talking about this:

Awesome Finish! :thumb:

I love it too, but Ian wants to go closer to the original looks and thus it will be red on silver with a red baseplate. I am having a hard time not to pull the trigger on this. It is damn sexy, but there are so many things I want atm. :cry:
