Duocast OR Paragon to build alongside Twinface?

[AndrewDempsey]

First time builder here. I want to build a dual overdrive pedal along with a fuzz. I have settled on the Twinface as my fuzz, but am undecided on Duocast versus Paragon. Some of the reviews I have read describe the Duocast as being an OD/Fuzz….. but I prefer the fuzz of a twinface.

Which would the community recommend? (Blues / rock music).
Also, where are some good sources for transistors as per the build spec? Or specific alternative recommendations for those in these builds. (I have not touched electronics for almost 30 years, so am lost with the details specifications of transistors.)

Between the two I'd say Paragon for more versatility paired with the Twin Face.

Both are good builds. I’d build the paragon. I’ve heard good things about the pro 10 dual as well. If your wanting in spec transistors, Smallbear electronic sells sets for various fuzz pedals including the fuzz face.
