@mynmyself I prefer Silicon over Germanium... better tone to my ears... alot of the greats prefer Silicon as well... Gilmour was known for the BC108 Silicon (silicon transistor) and he used a fuzzface bc108 for all lead tones in Dark Side of the Moon, Live in Pompeii, and Wish You Were Here! Silicon is under rated as far as I'm concerned.
@lando885 I completely agree. I actually bought the NKT-275 back a few years ago, and it just had very little fuzz on tap. To get more, you had to pick extremely hard to get a nice fuzz. I also thought it had a muddy sound, lke it just needed a more treble. Well, that's my opinion. I too like the BC-108 WAY better than the germanium.
what amp are you using?
