1/4W resistors in The Abyss (EQD Depths)?

[Dali]

I was getting all my composant together when I realized the BOM specify "Resistors(1/8W)".

https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Abyss.pdf

I'm pretty sure all my resistors are 1/4W so far.

I'm not a "I want to sound exactly like the original" kinda guy.

Should/can I just use 1/4W resistors?

Yes, but you'll have to stand them on one end, 1/8 are spec'd to fit the board spacing most likely

Thanks for the information Barry, highly appreciated.

With new challenges comes new abilities I presume.

No one can hear the difference between 1/4W and 1/8W resistors. I recommend you buy all 1/8W, they go in so much easier.

That's what I'm doing as I restock!

Can you mix 1/8W and 1/4W on a circuit in a pinch let’s say your out of a resistor ?

yes. no audible difference between the two and they do not mind if you mix and match.

Thanks for the reply zgrav !

At my age I have to use 1/2 watt to read the color bands.

I am kidding of course, but maybe not too far from the truth lol.

I feel ya bro...

Yeah... The old eyes ain't what they used to be. I wear a magnifying visor to read, insert & solder parts.
