Pure Tone has developed a high quality 1/4" three pole (stereo) jack using a new patented design that improves upon and offers a more reliable connection than standard 1/4" jacks. The Pure Tone design features two springs for both the tip connection, a spring for the ring, and an additional spring for the shield connection. These help to secure the plug into place and create a greater surface area connection at contact points to improve stability and signal integrity. These jacks also increase the current capability of 1/4" connections.

Threaded through dress nuts for use with mini toggle switches. Unlike the other versions of this dress nut, this nut is not capped allowing the nut to thread past the top of the switch’s bushing. The uncapped top can be useful where internal depth is an issue such as parallel PCB mounting. These plated dress nuts feature a chamfered edge for a professional look and work on any 1/4-40 UNS threaded bushing. Two sides are flatted for use with a tool when fastening.

Zinc nut. Designed to be used with any low carbon bolt or screw such as a grade 2 bolt. Most commonly used nut. Achieves strength through cold forming. Low carbon steel.

Cliff UK 1/4" white jack. External threading: 7/16-20. Ni-Ag® Alloy Self-Cleaning Contacts for superior performance and reliability. Tough, molded Nylon body.

The 2N4125 is a general purpose silicon NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The 2N4125 is primarily intended for general purpose amplification. It is a popular choice for silicon fuzz pedals due to its low hFE specifications. It has also been used in a variety of classic pedals such as the Phase 90.

Rubber caps / switch tips for mini toggle switches in a variety of colors. These are made for standard sized toggle bats.

Surface mount MMBFJ201 JFETs presoldered to TO-92 adapter boards. Use wire, clipped component leads, or pin headers to easily attach these adapters to PCBs using TO-92 footprints for J201s. These JFETs can be found in many effects pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. The J201 / MMBFJ201 is an N-Channel general purpose amplifier JFET. This device is designed primarily for low level audio and general purpose applications with high impedance signal sources. The pinout is marked on the PCB and is DSG when facing the component side.

100kΩ dual-gang 16mm potentiometers with a solid shaft and a linear taper. These pots have right angle PCB mount terminals. The smaller size is useful for builds with limited panel space such as guitar pedals, synthesizer modules, and adding modifications to equipment. Washer and nut included.

• Threading: M7 x 0.75
• Distance between terminals: 5 mm (0.197”)
• Lead Depth from Panel: 10.7 mm + 5 mm (0.421” + 0.197”)
• Lead Distance from shaft center: 16 mm (0.630”)
• Lead Thickness: 0.5 mm (0.020”)
• Shaft Diameter: 6.35 mm (0.25”)

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16" thick bakelite, tin plated steel solder lugs and brackets. 6 lugs, first and sixth lug are common.

2N169 NPN germanium transistors in an oval package. The oval package is sometimes referred to as a top hat package. The 2N169 is a popular NPN for fuzz pedals and other effects. The NPN polarity allows for use with standard pedal power supplies.

High brightness 5mm LED. Great for use in pedal and amp builds as well as other applications where a bold, bright, indicator is needed. Multiple colors available.

• 5mm size
• Water clear
• High brightness
• Multiple colors available
• Package of 5

Steel, type A narrow. SAE washers have a tighter fit on the bolt and a smaller outside diameter. Designed for general purpose mechanical and structural use.

2N4061 PNP transistors. This is a silicon PNP transistor in a TO-92 package. The 2N4061 has been used in a variety of effects pedals and is most notably used in the Zonk Machine II.

Audio taper 16mm potentiometers with a T18 knurled shaft. These pots have right angle PCB mount terminals. The smaller size is useful for builds with limited panel space such as guitar pedals, synthesizer modules, and adding modifications to equipment. Washer and nut included.
