Oooh, nice! These retro bastards can be used in pretty much any circuit specifying PNP germaniums. Particularly close to AC128's.I've used them in Tonebender MkII Professional, Tonebender Reissue, z-vex Fuzz Factory and a Fuzz Face. I'll undoubtedly use them in plenty of other stuff too.
I bought a load, tested them all, dumped the ones with crazy leakage and sorted them into hFE ranges. They go anywhere from 30-35ish up to 200ish with very small leakage.
There are some up over 250 hFE, but the leakage on them is quite a bit higher. Maybe that suits your purpose..?? I believe some pedals like leaky trannies.
I paid a lot of money for these, so would like £1.50 each. For that you get one within 10 hFE of what you're after.
I'll dig through and sort out matched pairs (within 10 hFE of each other) for £5 a pair.
