Twin face, unexpected winner.

This one really surprised me. Was not expecting it to sound this good. I dropped the ball on lining my drill holes up correctly but I’m ok, this one’s a keeper.

Nice! Which transistors did you use?

That's why I never hold a ball whilst drilling. Good looking build regardless!

Well, now I feel like an idiot. I used bc108c(s) for the npn side and 2n2907a(s) for the pnp side and I just realized those 2907s are not germanium’s they are silicons. What a dumb ass and no wonder both sides have a very similar vibe. I had planned on swapping around some of these new small bear trannies I picked up but was so happy with the sound from the start I have not. But now I must as I thought I was hearing unicorn dust magic and they were both silicon. Lolol.

If you hold the ball between your knees it frees up both hands for drilling.

I like silicon. Well, in pedals at least...

Haha well, I hope you find good Ge alternatives! Keep us posted.

Well maybe when I get a bit older I can hold my balls between my knees but just now they don't reach.
