If you want something with a BCE pinout, try a 2sc828 or 2sc1815.

Interesting.  Till now I always thought Coloursound were always inductorless.  Now I know they did both.

How loud is too loud?  What?

As NorthCoast and Jimi said, it's BCE, so getting one of the 2SC transistors is your best bet. Unless you want to bend pins.

In a (very) quick search I didn't see much about the original, but a couple vero board versions have 5088s. Makes me think mojo is irrelevant and you want something in the high (400-500 hFE) gain range.
