Pocket Patch Pals - Passive Utilities

Looks like that’s what was used in the video, and if it works it works :smiley: but 1) JFET parameters like Vgs and Idss vary widely (see here) and 2) they’re no longer made in TO-92 (*) and there are known fakes out there (they’re popular with stompbox folks so there’s a market), so if you bought them in the last 5-10 years you (or the synth DIY guy) may have ended up using something else…

*) The SOT-23 version MMBF5457 is still made.
