2N222A
just wondering those with more experience on tech matters what pedal/sounds are these transistors associated with for my reference.
Thanks in advance for info!
2N3704 is a ECB, do you mean 2N3904 (EBC)? If not, make sure your pin outs reflect what the design needs, unless you feel like freaking out.
I like sockets, transistors are cheap (assuming we're talking about ones in production), knock yourself out.
I'll plug just about anything into a 9 volt rail simple circuit, wrong pin outs, backwards, you name it. It can be surprising what works and what doesn't and rarely do parts die from low power shenanigans. Have fun!
