Alternate use for my Small Bear Ge transistors?

I bought a pair of these suckers from Steve thinking I would try another flavor of fuzz face...but I got sick of fuzz faces.  So now I have these expensive matched super-nice transistors lying around.  What other project would be a good match for them?  Weird noisemaking boxes get extra credit!  I am now in an electronic wankery ensemble.

Q2 and Q3 for MkII Pro TB ? This has a flavor I truly enjoy.
 I have two in a Tycho.

:oops:  What is the MkII Pro TB?

Sorry I dropped this thread, I went out of town for a while...

OK, I figgered it out!  Tone bender!!!

What do you recommend for the third transistor?

FF Transistors for Q2 and Q3 in Tonebender...since Q2 and Q3 are a FF in a tonebender.
 Then for Q1...I don't know the exact gains and leakage...I just used a socket, and a trimpot for bias...I have a few sets of TB and FF transistors, but IIRC there's an NTE158 at Q1 in my TB...sounds pretty dang stinkin' good too !!!
 I like pushing the FF with a gain stage like MiniBooster...makes for a really nice heavy Fuzz...but doesn't clean up much at guitar Vol.
