The BC183 is NPN
NKT275 PNP
Almost any PNP germanium would work,
in the original they were medium to low gain lots of info here if you want to get close to the original
I've always preferred Japanese 2SB types again pretty expensive but cheap compared to NKT germaniums

Thanks, I’ll take a look.
I only asked about the silicon transistors because some of those Sunfaces are made with them from what I am seeing.

Yeah you do get both silicon and germanium and lots of different transistors even Russian PNPs
I think his originals were NKT275 red dot, then white dot then.......
There's loads of options
As you know it's a fuzz face so with a few changes you can go NPN or PNP
I've collected and tried loads of different germaniums weirdly enough some of the more sought after one's were disappointing
I'm UK based and usually go here for 'mojo' parts nightmare to navigate the site so I just use the search bar but they've got a good range and if you search a specific component they don't have it'll return similar components

I run some russian germanium PNPs in mine and enjoy the sound. Experiment!
Which one?

You can't go wrong with Russians I've had good results with MP16Bs
Thanks!
I just ordered 25 MP20s off of Ebay....we’ll see how many are usable. Gonna be a long wait so I’m gonna have to order a couple from Small Bear for upcoming Simulcast builds.
