PFG Pedals is offering limited numbers of matched pairs from my ever expanding germanium transistor collection. I hand test each device first by the RG Keen method, then with a component tester, and if the numbers for gain and leakage are consistent and acceptable then I pair them based on gains. Next I test them in a breadboard to make sure they A: are able to be biased reasonably, and B: sound good and don’t contribute any excessive noise.

Once they pass all of these tests, they are then ready for one of my pedals, or yours, probably. Despite all this testing it is still possible for a set to perform below expectations despite testing perfectly, so for this reason I strongly suggest using sockets, at least temporarily, so you can make sure they meet your needs. 6 DIP sockets are included with each set for this very purpose. I will refund or exchange devices without question, provided the leads have NOT been cut or soldered.

I try to make up the sets from like part numbers whenever possible, however the numbers on the inside are much more important than the numbers on the outside, so not every set can be the same part numbers. I do however make sure each set is made up of two devices with same size can(package, i.e. T0-1. T0-5, etc.) as I want your build to look as great as it sounds.

Feel free to message me with any questions. If you need a three transistor set please message me and I can make a custom set tailored to your specific build's needs for only $10 more.

As always orders ship daily, Monday through Saturday and most orders will be in transit in less than 24 hours.


Thanks,
