JFETs Huh! What are they good for?

[Beaker]

My last package from Bulgaria contained about twenty of each, metal can 2N4392 and 2N4393 N-channel JFETs.

I can find datasheets no problem, but not much talk about what they might be suitable for. Has anyone got any suggestions?

[GeGhostRider]

I've used the 2N4393 in the Sabbracadabra and they took away the squealing, and sounded really good to my ears.

Yes the 4393 is used in the Catalinbread Sabbra Cadabra as well as the Galileo MKII (in contributions section)

I built the Sabbra Cadabra and it sounds great with the 4393

[Beaker]

Thanks guys.

I really wanted to just say

"Absolutely nothing ... say it again ..."

Nothing like a bit of the BOSS

but, yeah ..

I got some of these for the Sabbra C, need to get the PCB now as I think I'll try and build both versions.
I'll probably get some more of these if they are good.

I just got the PN4393s, I am surprised you got the originals

[Beaker]

Ask our Bulgarian friend if he has any more Dbat.
