Sziklai Step Daughter

This is essentially the same circuit, more or less, as the Darlington Daughterboard I previously posted. The only difference here is that the polarity of  the two transistors must be opposite of each other. The same math applies. Gain of Q1 times that of Q2, and leakage is also multiplied. The cool thing about the sziklai/darlington method is its also a cool way of sneaking germanium transistor into otherwise silicon builds.

Piggyback Pair

Germanium transistors are becoming more and more scarce and the ones that you do find aren't great options for the classic fuzz circuits...
