Ok so here's the verdict. I ended up socketing the diodes. I found one Ge diode that read around 700k and another right around 1M. The circuit sounded pretty good. I didn't have any BAT-41s but I had some 46s, which measured around 6M. I swapped back and forth a few times and ultimately liked...

I've read there is a resistor in series. I didn't bother with that though because I don't mind it going full off in some settings.

Seems like the whine is related to the power supply. Sorry I should have thought of that. I always test my pedals with the same snark power supply on my bench and never had issues. This circuit seems to not like it though. Testing with a battery and a different supply the whine goes away! Great...

Hey thanks! I'll try playing around with the diodes. What leakage should I shoot for? Also in this demo the pedal doesn't whine with the bias knob fully open: Could the whine be related to the diodes? Maybe the ng-3 uses a different pot value?

Hey I just finished my nugget fuzz built but some things seem off. I double checked all my components and joints. The transistors seem to be getting the right voltages and the diodes seem to read just about .3 for forward voltage. I get a whine or squeal from the pedal with the bias turned...

Anyone else have this issue?? I have the same thing and it happens even when the drive is all the way down.
