2N1308 Source

[jwroper]

I'm looking at building a few of the BJFE pedals, but a lot of them use the 2N1308s - does anyone have a good source for these? I'm looking on ebay and £15 for 10 doesn't seem too outrageous but are these just a substitute for the real thing?

Will it make a noticeable difference if I just use an AC128 instead?
In the UK. Cheers!

2n1308 is npn so you need something like ac176, or maybe even better, some AF series transistor. Still, most low leakage npns (is low leakage npn an oxymoron? ) should do

Cheers, do you think the trannies in that ebay link are worth a go?

Hey, for anyone interested I ended getting these off ebay - 10 for £1.25 each.

Nice! How are they testing out?
