What is the deal with those diodes that I see listed everywhere as 1n34a but look similar to regular 1n914 types. Are these total fakes, work alike Silicon, or legit germanium?

I have a bag of Ge transistors and one of thos TC1 Multi-testers. I not sure how to look at these numbers. The TC1 shows: Hfe, Ube, Ic, Iceo, Ices. ID hfe Ube Ic Iceo Ices Part# Type 1 81 98 1.3 0.4 37 AC128/01 PNP 2 52 164 6.8...

i just built an informant works great and sounds good. But, it’s a bit of a one trick pony, even with the drive all the way down it sounds pretty high gain. Looking at the circuit I see two non inverting op-amp stages before the clipping diodes. The first stage has a gain of about 5.5 the second...

I just built an informant. I used the buffered wiring. The LED lights, I get audio with the effect on and in bypass. The problem is that the sound is muffled and rough. hard to describe, it doesn’t sound right. I used a TC1044 and set the jumper on the back of the board.

I’m planning to build a new Big Muff clone. Which version do you think is best for down tuned guitars?

The Muffin Fuzz docs list some versions of the Big Muffs I recognize and others I can’t place? Is there a list somewhere?
