Question about building a standard ToneBender on a Carbon Black

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
 
Just do the old bend it over routine with your Q3and tac a 1/8w 200r between the emitter and pad.
Nothing non-elegant. It's point to point. all the rage these days.
Twist em and trim em and throw some heat shrink on there if you want to hide it from the nobody looking at it.
As for the rest of the adjustment, not sure. Mowing grass so can't look at the schem at the moment.
