Well, you could use npn germaniums...though they typically have less gain I think.

http://www.buildyourownclone.com/fuzz.html <== NPN Germanium (AC127/01)

http://www.buildyourownclone.com/tonebender.html <== PNP Germanium (OC75)

remember, PNP means you can't daisy chain it with other pedals, unless they are all positive ground.
