Troglodyte fuzz transistors

Hi, I'm putting together a Troglodyte fuzz from the layout on dirtboxlayouts.blogspot and just wondered how critical the choice of NPNs are for Q1 and Q2. I've got a couple of low hfe (≈150) and just figured I'd throw them in there and see.

Turns out it's really good with two Is NPNs with a Hfe of 150ish!

Not so much of a muff tone, a bit more abrasive in the mids.
In a good way!

Aha! Thanks plush, nice catch.
Make me remember of Mondo fuzz with BMP tone. If R4 and trimpot change position, make louder. Right?
