Large rubber grommet for mounting footswitches on FZ-1 and FZ-1A style builds. Requires a 0.812” (20.6mm) mounting hole. This grommet’s 0.5” (12.7mm) inner diameter fits most common footswitches. These are great for replacing originals, replica builds of these Maestro pedals or for general sound damping on footswitches.

Metal stamp set with nine stamps for the numbers 0 through 9. The 6 stamp is also used for 9. The height of a stamped numeral is 0.125”. These stamps mark single characters by indenting the mark into the surface of a material. The process is simple, requiring only a hammer to strike the stamp onto the material. This stamp set is a great tool for adding control labels to projects such as pedal enclosures.

Metal stamp set with 27 stamps for the letters A through Z and an ampersand. The height of the stamped letter is 0.125”. These stamps mark single characters by indenting the mark into the surface of a material. The process is simple, requiring only a hammer to strike the stamp onto the material. This stamp set is a great tool for adding control labels to projects such as pedal enclosures.

Large black plastic control knob with set screw and brass insert.

High quality chassis hole covers for a wide variety of hole sizes. These covers use tapered tabs that easily snap into the hole to securely hold the cover in place. If a more permanent solution is required, the metal tabs can be bent outward after installing to secure the hole cover to the chassis. These nickel plated covers are a great way to modify an existing chassis or cover up mistakes. This list shows some common hole sizes for a variety of parts used on amplifiers, pedals and other equipment.

Wah pedal enclosure, bottom, and foot-pedal shell and hardware. Enclosure shell & foot pedal are cast aluminum.

NPN low noise transistor (TO-92 package) - designed for high gain, low noise general purpose amplifier applications.

• Max collector to emitter voltage = 45 V
• Max collector to base voltage = 45 V
• Max emitter to base voltage = 6.5 V
• Max collector current = 0.2 A (continuous)

Carling mini-toggle switch, DPDT, ideal for phase switching, coil-tapping, series/parallel pickup switching in guitars.

• 0.354" bushing length
• ¼" mounting hole diameter
• Double pole/Double throw (DPDT)
• On-On

New old stock 2N3565 transistors manufactured by Micro Electronics. The 2N3565 is a silicon NPN transistor in a TO-106 case. The 2N3565 is primarily intended for general purpose and low level applications. 2N3565 transistors were used in the original Harmonic Percolator, Foxx Tone Machine and the Sam Ash Fuzzz Boxx.

The 2N1711 is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistor in a TO-39 metal case. It is intended for use in high performance amplifiers, oscillators and switching circuits. The 2N1711 is a great choice for amplifiers where low noise is an important factor.

Extra long diecast aluminum chassis commonly used for looper/loop-switching pedals. This enclosure style is often referred to as the 1032L. Mounting screws for the bottom plate are included with this chassis box. Add 0.16" to enclosure depth for lid.

Mono input. PC mount terminals. Metal ferrule. Shorting. Similar to S-H901PC-X.

Metal frame AA battery holder. This battery holder fits a single AA battery and is a great option for electronics that run on 1.5V. It features two solder lugs for connecting wires to the positive and negative ends. The battery holder in the original FZ-1A fuzz pedals looks nearly identical to this holder.

Audio taper, vertical mount, Alpha pots with a 6mm T18 knurled shaft. These 9mm pots are popular in DIY guitar pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. Mounting nut and washer included.

Genuine Hammand screws for use with diecast enclosures. These screws fit all Hammond diecast enclosures as well as any 6-32 UNC threaded enclosure. The thread length is 0.375”.

Hex nut for white Cliff Jacks, threading: 7/16-20. Also used on the footswitch jack in some Marshall amps.

Extra thick M12 flat washers. These washers fit both metric (M12) and imperial (15/32) bushings for compatibility with the vast majority of foot switches and full-sized toggle switches. These thick steel washers are a great way to add a classy look to projects.

The AS3280 is Alfa’s version of the CA3280 IC. The AS3280 consists of two variable operational amplifiers that are designed to substantially reduce the initial input offset voltage and the offset voltage variation with respect to changes in programming current. This design results in reduced "AGC thump," an objectionable characteristic of many AGC systems. Careful design of critical places of the circuit reduces the amplifier dependence upon thermal and processing variables.
The AS3280 has all the generic characteristics of an operational voltage amplifier except that the forward transfer characteristics is best described by transconductance rather than voltage gain, and the output is current, not voltage. The magnitude of the output current is equal to the product of transconductance and the input voltage.

Solderless (plug-in) breadboard with 400 connection tie-points (i.e. 400 wire insertion holes) and 4 power rails. Solderless breadboards are great for building and testing new circuits because parts can be easily inserted and removed making them completely re-usable. This breadboard has a 300 tie-point IC-circuit area plus four 25 tie-point power rails. The housing is made of white ABS plastic, with a printed legend giving numbers and letters for columns and rows. The internal contacts are phosphor bronze with a plated nickel finish and a peelable adhesive tape backing is provided for attaching it to a surface. Be sure to check out the Zipwire™ jumper wire kits for use with this breadboard.
