When I built my clone of the Clinch EP-Pre, I bought all the possible transistors, and tried them..I'm using a MMBF5457 or an 2N5457 ..... I laid out the board to except either one .... the 2N5457's are a bit of a pain in the ass to get now .... I have a small stash that I'll use first ... then I'll switch over to the SMD MMBF5457
Q1: 2N5256 2N5952 2N5953 2SK30A-Y 2SK30A-GR J202
Q2: 2SK30A-GR J113 2N5457 PN4303 BF244A BF245A
Ended up using the 2N5484 / 2N5485 because it sounded best to me.
