thanks
I built mine using the bc108, bc109, and finally bc182. All worked well and sounded almost identical. I finally settled on the bc182 cause it's apparently what brian uses.
That pedal rocks. I haven't built a RM yet but the like the BMTB so much I want to see what the RM is like.
I just built one of those this past weekend.
I used a BC182 initially and then for giggles tryed a TIP31C (TO-220 package). The TIP sounds great! I think I'll try messing with the biasing and see how that effects tone. I'm not sure how it's supposed to bias but I have about 1/2 V+ on the colelctor.
I always use .01 inpuit caps on my treble booster builds - I can't stand anything smaller than that.

Hello Hello--
Doesn't that one take BC 182L ?? [low noise]
I think I've got some of those if anybody wants to trade for something......
Hey Jim, isn't it getting close to your big day???
Brian.
Hey Brian,
The big day has come and gone - it was awesome! We had a great time at Doune - I'll send you a pic or two.
Oh, by the way, the BC182 I tried out was from you. :)
Take care!
Jim
Hello Hello--
Crap, I missed the day!! Congrats!! [is that the correct word...??]
Did I send you BC 182 or BC 182L ??
Brian.
Thanks Brian!
I believe the ones you sent were 182's - no "L".
