Always seems for me when I order I always need to order 3 places at the same time as some parts are only at Tayda, others only SBP, and others Mouser.womp womp
Well shoot. I had to get stuff from mouser that wasn't carried elsewhere, so it's always that balance of shipping costs and multiple orders. I try not to overthink it, but I might've underthought
Are you buying switchctaft from switchctaft?
Let me know what you find. They seemed alright to me at first glance. Will try them in a rat derivative at some point. Working on boxing up built circuits before populationing any more currently.First of the last orders (for a while) came in from Jameco. Wanted to take a chance on the 308 cans they have. Also got a poly cap grab bag, because I'd rather pay for that and get something than the fee for the min order amount
and actually, not a bad spread for lead spacing. I was expecting much worse. Like, all 250V caps like that honker there
Haven't separated by value yet, but I'm pretty pleased with that.
It was Art Of Tone, who is a legit shop. And I’ve used enough real switchcraft over the years as well as the knockoffs to know the difference (insulator material different color, the metal actually springs back, company markings vs generic “China” markings, hardware has correct markings, correct (imperial) sized barrel and hole, and even the thread pitch is the correct SAE threads and not metric.
I like open frame jacks. I don’t spring for switchcraft though. The neutrik ones seem plenty solid to me. I had been spending 1.80 for them at tayda until I realized they’re 1.35 at Stompboxparts.
Unfortunately I had a batch of Neutrik closed circuit type jacks fail first use (input of a tweed deluxe)… the jack worked but the switching tab stopped working literally after the first use, so since then I’ve stuck with Switchcraft. I’m sure it was likely just a bad batch, or someone sold me knockoffs, but once burned, I stay clear from now on.
I haven't even done serious testing with the one Derevaun PIF'd me
I should just breadboard one up. I was using my Field Marshall Rat (Fat Rat) but I can never remember when the filter or MOSFET is engaged or not, so I need vanilla.
Heh, after value separating them, there's a trend emerging
I don't think this exists. Every time I think I'm done ordering parts for a while, I either buy a board that needs an IC I don't have, or I read one of these threads that leaves me feeling like I need some random part that I probably won't need for another six months, but I buy it anyway.
Here's the trick! Never said I wouldn't get new or missing parts, just not put in any orders
I knew I was forgetting something. The quad dc converter! Looks like I’ll have something for the next order!
Update, first impressions on the Paladins after adjusting the stop screw:
Shop Assmart.
