Hello everyone
I built a tonebender mkii, after some transistor choices I have the following parameter.
the sound is not bad, but there is doubt about the lack of leakage in Q1. Is the resistor sufficient?
trimpot Q2 and Q3

9.88v
HFE/Lk (DC55) C B E
Q1 AC128 - 65/0.036mA 8,00
Q2 NKT72u - 76/0.063mA 0.47 0.11
Q3 2N1309 -242/0.403mA 8.04 0.46 0.38

I put a 2m2 resistor Q1 collector base

I've never had a mkii in my hands, so I don't know if it's looking good.
Any tips?
thanks
