Just my thoughts, If you're going for two different timbres of fuzz in the same enclosure, you may be best served by building two separate FF circuits in the same enclosure - one Ge and one Si - then just engage the one you want. It's a low enough parts count circuit that it shouldn't be a big deal squeezing two in a 125B.
Thanks for the response Michael. I completely agree, still I guess I'm mostly just interested in the possibility of it or a greater explanation as to why it would/wouldn't work as my understanding of the differences is limited. I saw a beavis page a while back that mentioned a ge/si switch as a basic mod I believe, though I do think it was intended for transistors of common polarity. I like the simple switch idea more for experimentations sake and figured u could easily bias via an external trim pot. I'm curious about how the two would function within the same circuit and especially curious if it's even possible between npn/pnp transistors. Is there any simple solution to getting one in the others circuit? As I said, really just trying to wrap my head around the differences a little better.
Thanks,

Also, I'm aware that I could just wire some shit up and watch for explosions, just trying to gain the knowledge with a few less casualties if possible..
