Im having trouble finding an IC for the Gherkin Fuzz. I see that you can substitute 4 Transistors instead but the build doc doesn’t tell you what Transistors to use. What transistors can be used to replace the IC ?
So, I'm thinking about building this pedal too, and I have the same issue of finding the IC.
How do you substitute the 4x 2n3904 transistor for the IC listed in the build docs? It looks like there are 14 socks. With 3 leads on each transistor how do you attach them?
Here's the MPQ3904 pinout (bottom view). Top view is mirrored, but since the pinout is symmetric, it will look the same top or bottom. Note that pins 4 & 11 are not used. Feel free to try other transistors; nothing magic about 2N3904.
