Correct orientation of JFET in Six String Stinger

[claudio]

let's take the opportunity to expand your ability to help yourself. product datasheets. http://www.experimentalistsanonymous.com/diy/Datasheets/J201.pdf
This includes pinouts for both package types. Also, those electrical characteristics further down the datasheet become important not only in circuit design but, more relevant around these parts, parts substitution.

Oh, that explains it. I did post about the datasheet, which I did look at (see my comment #7) which suggested they were inverted. But I guess it was the *wrong* datasheet, because with the one you link to it all makes sense. Thanks folks!

It's all a bit silly because D & S are interchangeable unless you're building RF circuits (which we aren't).

That little factoid has come in handy breadboarding a few times.
