Thanks Si,
Yep, I guess you ultimately have to fine these things out for yourself! ;-)
Do you know what I'm to expect in terms of character from the Germaniums? I understand they're a bit less harsh than silicon, and less gainy than silicon and LED?
I'm now tempted to keep the ARC BGP for face melting, and have this as a nice mid-fuzz if that's the case?
Again, thanks for any advice!
