Minnow - J201 HELP?!

[dubspecialist]

Hello all,

I bought the Minnow PCB as I've been interested in analog filter design and thought this might be a fun one to dive into. I foolishly did not consider the scarcity of the J201 and missed the SMD daughter board option (if I were based in the US I'd just order one but sadly I can't justify the shipping cost at this point). Anyone attempted to build this with an alternative option or willing to offer some advice here? I'm not wildly concerned about capturing the exact fidelity of the original pedal, it was more an excuse to experiment/learn some things about filter design.

As always, any help is greatly appreciated...

Cheers!

Try a 5457 jfet. While not identical to a j201 it is close

Thanks for the response Buddy - excuse the delay, busy week last week. I actually found some SMD adapter boards here in Aus from Paul at DIY Pedals so going to give those a run

Cheers!
