resistors?

[joshsmog]

hey, im thinking about making a big muff pi and i wanna know some sites where i can get all the parts from, i found a site where i can get the diodes and transistors but i cant find anywhere get the other stuff.

Thanks.

this one is most often recommended by the people at www.generalguitargadgets.com and some other sites....

radioshack is actually not a bad place to get resistors of there is one nearby. They actually have quite a bit

I get a lot of stuff from Parts Express, www.partsexpress.com They have a wide variety of parts for the do-it-yourselfer

For harder to find electronic stuff (more unusual transistors, capacitors, etc) I use Mouser Invalid Link Removed

Or Digikey Invalid Link Removed

These three sites are among the largest on-line electronics suppliers. I get a few things from Radio Shack but their prices are high and their selection is limited.

Mouser and Digikey are my favorites. But for a one stop shop, you can't beat Steve at Small Bear.

whoa thats alot of sites. thanks.

hey what thingies are the ones i can change to get more bass response?

 

[tplyons]

If the box has a small value input or output capacitor like.01uF, you can change the capacitor to a larger value such as.1uF and this will feed the unit more bass. If you change the input capacitor to a larger value, you will put more bass into the distortion circuit. If you change the output capacitor to a larger value, you will output more bass after the distortion.

i guess ill try it after i make it then decide if i need to do any replacing.

i cant find any cool knobs, i want some heavy duty metal ones and all im seeing is plastic weak looking knobs.
anyone know where to get some good knobs?
