Anyone know where to get 1/8 resistors? Thru hole not SMT. Seems to be not a common part at mouser etc. Tayda was my go-to but Im not paying $20 for $1 of resistors. I know, I should have stocked up....

So I know Tayda upped their shipping and eliminated the super nice cheap shipping, probably due to the tariff issues to fold the cost into shipping? Anyway... What about all the PCB services? I haven't bought any in a long while but have a few projects. Is it the same now and/or how are they...

Anyone know if the pedalpcb Mini Rotary Switch (1P8T) (Alpha RS1611 series) switch allows you to adjust the 'stops' - ie limit it to something less than 8 positions? I know a lot of switches do but not sure about these. Cannot find anything specific about it anywhere. I think the larder...

looking for some encoder knobs - ideally aluminum, black, but have to be without "indicator" - D shaft would be perfect but I can adapt to 1/4 or 6mm these seem to be surprisingly HARD to find. ideally something like this but no top or side indicator...

I inherited a bunch of these 2N1304 - tried to measure them as best I could - see pics. Worth anything to try to sell on ebay or somewhere or not worth the hassle? Made a few fuzzes with the ones 2N1306/7 that were higher gain now theses are just gathering dust. Also have a bunch of 1N994...

I figure you all might have some experience or know someone.... Anyone know a source for part number and or parts for Boss pedals? Specifically I have a RV-500 with a bent TIME encoder and need to replace it. Not worth sending it in ext for a fix. It really looks like this at Tayda is very...

Sorry if a bit of off topic - but FX loops are a big thing with using my pedals I build. Was thinking of messing around with one of my old SS amps - good old Peavey Blazer. Was wondering if anyone would be able to give me advice on where I could add an FX loop? I looked at some of the other...

I want to make some custom power cable (9V) lengths. The only thing I can find are the super cheapo junk ones. Anyone have good source for the plug types like this? They shouldn't cost $3-8 for a connector. THESE NOT these

So I've been messing around measuring the effects of load on various 9V power supplies I have. Most are switching mode power supplies but I've looked at the old school transformer ones too. Looking at the voltage with a scope is interesting to see the switching artifacts. The BEST by far is...

Anyone use the tayda momentary footswitches? They also carry the Daier version - but Daier (sometimes) has the smaller actuator 8.5mm dia vs this 10mm. Quality? Smoothness? I see Love My Switches has some that look pretty similar. Anyone use the Tayda switches? Interesting they say it has...

Anyone know a place I can get low profile momentary switches? Only need a ON-(OFF) ie normally CLOSED momentary since it for a BOSS pedal CTRL1 and CTRL2 input. I don't want a "tall" enclosure. The "XWING" types would work switch-wise but Im looking for a little shorter. Something that would...

Interesting - can't be too difficult a circuit. Combination mini reverb tank and some optical sensors etc https://gamechangeraudio.com/shop/light-pedal/ The LIGHT Pedal is the world’s first analog optical spring reverb system that uses infrared optical sensors. This system is used to harvest...

I know not "pedal relate" but there's a lot of experience here and was wondering if you could help a fella out... Have an old Peavey SS amp with a TDA2040 - TDA2040s, from what I hears, are widely counterfeit :( Anyone know of a reliable source for a TDA2040? Cant find it from my normal parts...

Anyone diy a cable tester? I've built a ton of guitar cables, RCA cables - it's always a PITA holding the cable and multi-meter leads to check out my wiring. So I had some time and parts sitting around and came up with this. Im sure Mr PedalPCB could come up with a vastly better pcb (hint...

So I've been messing around with measuring dedicated power supplies for various pedals I have, and with some multi-outlet "pedalboard power supplies" (bricks) and have some question about what "range" of voltage supply would be acceptable. This all assumes current supply is adequate etc. Now...

I think I posted some of this before - but I'm still confused about "output" stages in pedals. I assume most pedals are "designed" to work with guitar inputs on amps. So the amp typically has a high impedance 1meg etc right? But if you want to plug a pedal into a "line level" (either +4dBu...

Anyone have one of these boxes? Would love to see inside or a schematic. Could make a cool pedal - hint hint....

So a harmonic tremolo has a High Pass and Low Pass section. Each with a LDR (not sown in circuit). Can you get a "normal" tremolo sound by only using one of the paths and opening up the filter? Something like below where you switch C7 and C5 so they are either "off" (as shown = normal...

Go the bug for a tremolo... I don't have a harmonic trem, does the Pendulum sound anything like the Supro?

Not too much smt experience - working on a driver board for some RD. First Question I have a 80 pin BGA array package that I *have* to use, with all other thru hole components. Somebody mentioned I need a "tooling rail". ? Cant figure out what that means. Is that just a boarder around the...
