thanks guys! i could have sworn i scoured tayda already, but there they are plain as day. ???‍♂️ maybe i shouldn’t do all of my parts orders at 2am when i’m exhausted

hi guys, i'm looking for an alternate source for the little green alpha pcb mount 9mm pots. i ordered some of these from mouser, but when they arrived there was no threaded portion at the base, making them none to useful for my build. i would normally go to small bear, but that doesn't appear to...

very helpful!

i'll give it a shot. while i'm not technically a machinist, i do machinist type work for a living and have never used a step drill. i have noticed people seem to use them a lot of sheet metal and stuff. interesting!

this is an awesome thread, really great info. is there any reason you promote using a step drill bit over standard jobbers, or even screw machine stubby bits?

i found some interesting things on the UTSource site. went ahead and place an order, hoping for the best. i'm going to be socketing the heck out of this build so i figure i may as well have plenty of alts to test, right?

i’m down with that advice. i’ve always known mouser to be one of the more dependable resources (like mcmaster-carr or MSC), but since i have not used them in several years i wasn’t positive they were still A list. it’s shocking how much has changed in this little world since i built my last box...

alright! it sounds like i have a lead on all the components i need to make this now, with at least one alternate for the tricky bits. thanks again, all. i'll post more as this pedal comes together.

oh, well it looks like mouser has them, so that's easy. i would assume mouser isn't selling garbage these days, or have times changed?

thanks for the note on the J201s. i kind of recall them being hard to source even in 2000 or so. i found some 1n5817 diodes that i will try out. is tayda a reputable source for the 2n5458?

you guys are being so incredibly helpful, thank you so much. i plan to socket all of the diodes, transistors, and the IC to fine tune the variables as much as possible. i've found some D9K and 1N60 diodes that i have seen referenced on other threads, and i'm going to try a few of the many LM308...

?‍♂️ those are not jfets... i knew that... i'm much better at following directions than i am at troubleshooting right now, so i'm going to put my eggs in THAT basket and hope for the best. i see some lm308 chips on reverb for around $10 a pop. i don't know if that's a lot? i'm shocked at...

i've looked at a couple of the build reports already, and yes i noticed there was a lot of representation of that pedal on the various forums... i just thought it was popular, not problematic! :rolleyes: i've got a couple of dozen bs170s and 2n7000 jfets laying around somewhere from a some SHO...

i’m sure i will cross this bridge when i get to it, but is that a simple alteration of the off board wiring, or will i need to jumper/cut portions of the board?

awesome, thanks. its been a while since i have tried to decipher schematics, and i was never that greta to begin with. i appreciate you taking the time to take a look. cheers!

hi folks, i'm new here. i have not completed a pedal build in nearly 15 years, but i used to dabble quite a bit back in the early 2000s... i've got the bug again, and WOW things have changed. its a great time to be into this stuff, and i'm very excited by the explosion of this community. i'm...
