I'm shocked Frank that you haven't built a big muff yet. I've had similar experiences to Javi s, when trying different transistors. I find that there are slight differences, mostly in the amount of compression. Also, to my ears the higher the hfe the more treble it seems to have, but if you go below 300hfe, that's when I start to hear the fartiness.
There's this site that talks about how each mod affects the big muff, which I find or be fairly spot on.
Also, Javi the V1 big muff has been on my list for awhile. I think after the lab is all set up it's going to be my second build, after I get the bbbod done. Off topic, did you build the opamp muff posted with 2 dual ICs instead of 1 quad? Completely different animal the the transistor muffs, and changing ICs can make a massive difference in sound and gain.
