Anyone had any experience with this germanium fuzz?

simonk

Yeah, I bought one of their NKT275’s a few years ago. It’s nice and not far removed from the white dot Sunface I had at the time. It’s not getting used currently so if you fancy it drop me a PM.

Does it clean up well? How much would you want for it?

simonk

Yep, cleans up nicely.

is it the usual centre negative power? I read once that it was centre positive and so wouldn't work with normal power supplies?

Dunno, I only ever ran it on a battery... tiny current draw so a PP9 will last for eons.

I’ve just checked it, and there’s no DC so it’s battery only.

I really need power input so will have to hold on this for now.

Something like this would work...
