Well, looks like I need a new transistor. (P-2356)
Anyone have one, or a dead boomerang wah to pull one from?
I just started a thread here as well...

Scratch that!
Turns out it only needed 2 resistors replaced. One was out of spec, and made the output weak; and another which contributed to the hiss.
I should be picking it up later today!
