seller sent me 10r cement resistors instead of 1r. so i figured I'd test the unit as it is. burnt different resistors than ones i had previously, and through a few 2n3055 (I'm gonna have to dream up a fuzz box using all these as clipping diodes lol)
couldn't read q709 so i swapped with the 2n3638 from the spare 602 board. replaced q701 and q702 with a pair of bc161 i had (both had been replaced previously, twof different transistors). still smoked a couple resistors. changed q703 with a nsd104 (closest i had too the pet1075). not wanting to burn ought my last quad of 2n3055, i threw in the 2n3232 that were originally in it and no smoke, so i plugged in guitar and speaker cabinet and: LOUD pleasantly distorted guitar. doesn't clean up (kind of a blatty, gated fuzz sound at low levels
now it is time yup put on 2n3055s and pray that the proper component cleans er up a bit (if not, this would still work for the sabbathy stuff I'm intending for it)

i shall report back
