There are people who'll disagree like their sales/resale/ego depend on it, but I think certain fuzzes with certain controls can cover the same tones as germanium, to placebo effect closeness, maybe even more consistently. That's why I haven't gotten around to a full germanium Algal Bloom. If I do, though, I imagine I'll sell twice as many as ever, thanks to the germanium hype machine, but I don't know if I'd feel good about it.
