How close do I need to get?

Hi fine folks-

Building a caesar chorus, and forgot to order one resistor size. 470r. I can stack but not get exact, or go way over. Like 800ish. Are their guidelines? Should I just wait and make it part of my next order? I really need to stop ordering parts at 2am.
 
What values do you have available?

This will do a “reverse” parallel resistance calculation for you:

Or this one:

This is awesome. Thanks!!
 
That would put you pretty close to 470R (487R) but I'd probably just stick the 330R in there so it's cleaner.

I'd build a bridge — the 330r and 100r as the towers and the 47r as the deck = 477r — closer than Robert's 487r !

Bonus is using up that 47r — really, how many builds call for that?


No need for the parallel resistor calc, either.

Just as an FYI, 2 820r in parallel would give you 410r which is also acceptable and a little easier to calculate.🤣
 
Blaspheme, HamishR!




^^Devil is in the details, Robert, as you WELL know.
We just have to look at one of your layouts to know you know.
