NPN Germanium transistor circuits?

I've been poking through my parts bins and turned up a bunch of NPN Germanium transistors looking for a project.

I've got some AC127 transistors (bought from Marc Ahlfs back in the day) and a single NTE101.

I'm interested in the Fuzz Aldrin (which fits, given the source of my transistors!) but wondered about other NPN circuits that use Germanium transistors that you would recommend. So many circuits are PNP and it's rare to find a good one it would seem.

Thanks in advance for the help!
 
I had heard about the conversion but never tried it. Will it work with a 9v adapter? I dislike batteries no matter what Eric Johnson says.
 
Fantastic fellas! I appreciate it. And so quickly too!

So... I can see a Fuzz Aldrin on my board, as well as that Buzzaround board I've had laying around waiting for transistors (after I flip the required parts) and maybe a few more. Nice!
 
Don't bash Eric Johnson man! He's got better tone than you will ever get! Oh that was a bit over the top. You could call me a big fan of Eric's. By the way, you might not be able to get the right tone without carbon zinc batteries. It gets you the vintage mojo!

Ha! I wonder if I'd ruffle some feathers with that jab. I'd wager that 99% of guitarists out there have better tone than I do!
