Hey all, Joe from Gray Bench Electronics here.
In this video we'll discuss the ins and outs of testing and selecting germanium transistors for use in guitar pedals.
I'll go over what BJT transistors are, why germanium transistors require testing, a few testing apparatuses, and why those tests' results will differ and what that means for you, the builder.
Feel free to ask questions! Enjoy
