Steve C: Those TO-36 transistors sound like Germaniums to me. If you replace them with Silicons, you will need to rebias them to get rid of the crossover distortion that will probably show up when you swap them.

I don't know what the original transistors were in your amp, because both the ECG and HEP transistors are universal replacements. Have they all been replaced?
