It's been my personal experience that gain ranges don't seem to matter much, but I've found a few sweet spots in my builds as stated above. It's better stated with the Ge percolator.. there's some magic there. I think clipping diodes are kind of a bonus in this circuit.. they sound pretty amazing if you get a good pair.
I don't think I can measure them in any convenient way now that its over but what I can say is that I briefly substituted the transistors a few times without measuring. It did not change the sound as significantly as changing capacitor/resistor values. Maybe I got really lucky but I think more realistic that I've only begun the rabbit hole of what this circuit is capable of!

the jerkulator I built makes some interesting intermodulation, produces some UFO noises on doublestop string bends and some extra rumble on chords(chords still sound like chords, unlike how octavio completely destroys chords)
