2SK246 Substitute ? (Boss FA-1)

[madTone]

I am building a Boss Fa-1 clone and wondering if there is a substitute for the 2SK246, currently Smallbear is out and Mouser does not list the item.

Any help or recommendations appreciated.

Any n-FET will work.
It's just a buffer...

Just check the pinout

Yeah, it's used as a buffer so the exact J-FET doesn't matter. Any J-FET will do, just keep in mind that the max gate to drain voltage is correct. Best thing about J-FETs is that the gate and drain are interchangeable, so they can be used as a switch
