Hyped fuzz decay

I built the recent hyped fuzz..sounds great but I get some wierd fizzling decay after 3-4seconds of sustaining a note..the only difference I did was bc547c(490hfe) instead of the bc549c..any ideas or is this how it's supposed to be
 
Set your meter to read 20V DC. Clip the black lead of your multimeter to a ground point. Probe each leg of the transistor with the red lead, record the results using this pinout.

C - 0.0v
B - 0.0v
E - 0.0v

Q1;BC109C
C- 8.11
B-2.70
E-2.28

Q2;BC108B
C-1.94
B-1.89
E-1.31

Q3;BC108B
"Same voltages as above"
Q4;bc547c
C-9.23
B-4.08
E-3.91

It sounds waaaaay better than before the decay is gone..but I feel like it's not quite there..I have some D9k diodes would that help getting closer

Yeah I turned it up more today and I'm still getting wierd decay fizzling when sustaining and the volume control and gain control make some the sound more apparent when turning them..I checked the pots they're both fine..not sure
