I'll preface this by stating my electrical/circuit knowledge is still very limited—I'm basically building Legos here; following directions and enjoying the pleasant surprise anytime the LED lights up after housing a finished PCB.
But I was looking at the Fuzz Foundry (original, not the deluxe) as a potential next build and had a question about the mix of transistors, specifically the silicon NPN (2N3904) and germanium PNPs (AC128) and how this might affect using standard power supply without a charge pump. I know this is an...eccentric...fuzz , so is this by design? Will this work with a standard power supply, or do I need to use a 9v battery?
Again, apologies if these are remedial questions, but just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything before diving in and frying a transistor. Thanks!
