This is a slightly different hybrid MKII than I have previously seen - this is a Sola Sound MKII built by D*A*M, referred to as the Black Fish Skin version by Macari's Music. The PNP Silicon transistor is a PNP version of a BC109 / BC108.
I couldn't see the value of one resistor on the photos, so a safe bet would be to try something in the usual range for a MKII, and see how it goes - adjust to taste. The 10k on the base of Q1 might need to be 100k if you use a different transistor, which is normal for a MKII.
What is the benefit of the silicon pnp ? I assume I could turn the caps and put a npn in ?
ReplyDeleteSlightly cheaper with silicon, and it will probably sound a little different too. Probably a tad more aggressive.
DeleteYou can replace all the transistors with their npn equivalent and flip the caps.
