I measured 80, 89, 100, and 105 hfe. What do big muffs usually go for? I have a Green Russian Big Muff ready to be soldered up. I can try putting them in that, once it is all done up.
Those are way too low for a big muff, most vintage spec ones have transistors with hfe in the 150-250 range. But, they may be good in a fuzzface or maybe a Si range master.
