Ferrite Bead for Equilux

[enrosenzweig]

I'm gathering parts for the Equilux and realized that I have a pack of ferrite beads from Electronic Goldmine. I have no idea what possessed me to order them in the first place as this was before the Equilux came out. My sense is that they should work fine, but I want to check.

Those should do the trick but if not I have a ton of these send me your address and I will send you a couple.

Is this the correct ferrite bead?
Thanks!

I've used this one on other Spaceman pedals and it worked fine. I don't think there is very much variation in those beads, and they are strictly a nice to have, not required. You can definitely jump them if you wanted. It's a nice little addition to filter some (I think very high frequency?) noise, but there's a reason almost no other designs use them.

Ya’ll had me sweatin, thinking I had already f’d up my Equilux mini because I def didn’t populate a ferrite bead, let alone remember seeing one listed on the screen print. Thought maybe I had accidentally put a 5817 where a ferrite should have gone, but nope, the mini version omits the ferrite bead altogether, which supports the “not necessary” thoughts.

This is good information. Since I don't have the part, I may just place a jumper. If it is needed, I'll get it with the next Tayda order.
