The topology of the Carbon Black is almost perfect for a "standard" silicon Mk II ToneBender. The one provision I find missing - there is no emitter resistor on Q3, typically a 220R.
Can this be compensated for through an adjustment to the collector bias, or maybe get away without it?
If not, is there any more elegant way to retrofit the resistor than to give the transistor a 200R artificial leg
?
TIA
