Thank you, @SillyOctpuss! I don't know how I managed to get turned around when I ordered those transistors. My plan had been to start with NPN germanium. Ah well, baby steps - let's just get something working to start with.
Yeah definitely get those ones, measure their hfe, let me know what they are and I'll help you pick which ones to try in which spots. A silicon fuzz face is much easier to nail than a germanium. Once you've got a sound you're happy with move onto germanium. Because you have to deal with leakage, hfe and temp with germanium it's a bit more of a challenge to get a fuzz face just right.
