quick parenthesis question...

[Nostradoomus]

Never had luck with Tayda JFETs. I get mine from uk-electronic.de

oh, well it looks like mouser has them, so that's easy. i would assume mouser isn't selling garbage these days, or have times changed?

 

[Nostradoomus]

Mouser is a safe bet

 

[jspake]

alright! it sounds like i have a lead on all the components i need to make this now, with at least one alternate for the tricky bits. thanks again, all. i'll post more as this pedal comes together.

I usually buy all my ICs, transistors, diodes, etc from Mouser. What they don't have I get from UTSource. So far, I haven't received any obviously bad parts. I was skeptical at first because their (UTSource) prices seem fairly normal for "hard to find" parts when compared to specialty guitar pedal shops that charge $3 for a single diode or whatever. Take this recommendation with a grain of salt since I'm a newbie and I haven't actually tested any of these parts -- but all of the pedals I've built with them sound good to me.

i’m down with that advice. i’ve always known mouser to be one of the more dependable resources (like mcmaster-carr or MSC), but since i have not used them in several years i wasn’t positive they were still A list. it’s shocking how much has changed in this little world since i built my last box ?
i’m unfamiliar with UTsource, i’ll investigate. thanks!

i found some interesting things on the UTSource site. went ahead and place an order, hoping for the best. i'm going to be socketing the heck out of this build so i figure i may as well have plenty of alts to test, right?
