Low tide Modulator 2SK208-Y Sub?

[steviejr92]

Hey guys just wanted to know with what can be a good sub for the 2sk208-Y Jfet? Im building the Low tide modulator what have you guys used?

EDIT: Just realized the board has a spot for the SMD version which makes this much easier to find!

I got some if you want them

Thanks dude but i literally just bought 20 smd versions! I really appreciate it though!

 

[Diynot]

Now I have the urge to build the mini version….dammit

 

[steviejr92]

Go for it! I have the normal version. I like the bigger enclosures that's the only reason!

Use an smd j201. Cheaper and more readily available. You can even get them from the storefront here

I actually got some from the store here. Didnt know they would work good to know for the next time!

If you look at the data sheets it's close enough for rock n roll

I've used j201s in the two I've built so far with no issue

 

[steviejr92]

Awesome! I might just use the J201 just so i dont have to wait

I did build the 1590bb version shortly after it came out and as much as I like it, I do not need another, albeit, smaller version.

That version has stacked circuits right? I do like the way stacked circuits look in 125bs! I have the Byzantium here ready for me to build as well cant wait for that one!

 

[Diynot]

The mini is stacked board yes. Meh, I can’t build another since I don’t have any BBDs left and am not interested in shelling out the $$ for more. The Byzantium is pretty cool. I need to go back and re-bias mine. I actually like the sound better when I didn’t have it “officially” biased. I do like a stacked board project.

 

[steviejr92]

The Byzantium will be my first stacked project. Definitely looking forward to it!

2sk30y,208y is only smd.In Germany is easier for the standard JFET's then smd.Lucky for me Reichelt start to sell smd's.Every month i buy dozens of them,i think till my death im easy.But reichelt dont by adapter for smd.Only Musikding sell them.UK electronics(Germany) had 2sk30y/gr and 2sk117gr.I hope this can help you.Apologize for my English is DIY.

hmmm this has me thinking i might do the mini instead of the 1590XX... i love this pedal and have been circling it for a long time.

it's nice.
I have a bass through it and it's subtle.
But having something with more legato feel through it world - sticking a (toy) keyboard through it and it sounds amazing.
