Pastel 2N6429

[Morbidpale]

Just rabidly ordered the pastel preamp pcb. But now I'm looking around and don't see where to buy the 2N6429's. Is there an equivalent transistor?

this, probably...should have been slightly less rabid

Thanks. Next time I'll take a breath, check in with a loved one, then plan my order.

SMD Version is MMBT6429.
Looks like the 2N6428 that PedalPCB sells is lower gain in the datasheet vs the 2N6429. No idea if that matters in this circuit however.

Would MPSA18 work here?

I used MPSA18 and updated the build doc this morning to list those as a substitute.

Those are for the Trademark Fuzz.

Awesomeness. You are the king.
