Hornby Skewes Treble Booster

Request.

The transistor may be difficult to get hold of but you can try other PNP silicons in its place.  The datasheet suggests the hFE of the 2N4061’s was 90 – 330, but check the pinouts of your replacements and insulate/twist the pins if necessary to match the layout.

The filter created by the 1n output cap and 100K resistor will cut a lot of bass (after all it is a treble booster), but consider socketing it so you can experiment to find the values that best suit your style and gear.
