SPST(single pole,single throw) normally open, Off-(On) momentary foot switch with solder lugs and soft switching. These high quality switches feature a black actuator, bushing and mounting hardware. Depressing the switch shorts the lugs together and when the switch is released it returns to its non connected state with no click.

• SPST momentary switch
• Black finish and hardware
• Soft, silent switching with no click
• Normally open operation
• Solder lugs
• Nuts and washer included
• Note: Off-(On) switches may sometimes be referred to as Off-None-(On).

This PCB mounted DC jack style can be found on many manufacturers’ pedals. For barrel plugs with a 5.5mm external diameter and 2.1mm internal diameter. Three solder pins are available for tip, ring, and switch.

Lens Diameter: 3 mm Overall Height: 5.4 mm Lens Type: Diffused Multiple color options available.

Cliff S4 PC-A (L Leg). Stereo input jack, metal nut, 6 pin pc mount. Low-noise Ni-Ag® Alloy Self-Cleaning Contacts for superior performance and reliability Tough, molded grade 1 black Nylon body. Supplied with a black nylon hexagonal mounting nut. Designed to receive both mono and stereo ¼" jack plugs.

Switchcraft Type 13E phono jack. Mono 2-conductor isolated break circuit. Mates with standard ¼" plugs and is available with 0.25" inside diameter bushing. Includes nut and washer.

Angled solder terminal on a locking washing for ⅜” bushings. Perfect for adding chassis ground connections on switches, jacks, pots, and any other ⅜” bushing part.

PCB Mount stereo jacks with a very low profile. These jacks have a smaller footprint than the Lumberg jacks that are popular for tight pedal builds. They are perfect for top mounted jack pedal builds and any other project where space is limited. Mounting nut and flat washer included.

• M9*0.75 Bushing Thread
• Stereo 3-Conductor (TRS)
• Open Circuit (does not have switched terminal).
• Includes nut and washer.

This jack can be found in many modern versions of the classic Boss pedals such as the DS-1 and SD-1.

Extra heavy duty carbon zinc batteries from GP. The GP Greencell 9V is a favorite for fuzz pedals and is the stock battery for many boutique builders such as D*A*M and others. Additionally, these batteries are a great choice for any low current battery powered pedal or other devices.

½" panel mount DC jack with solder lugs. This jack is rear mounted which makes troubleshooting and repairs simpler since the jack does not need to be desoldered if the circuit needs to be removed from the enclosure. Round plastic with normally closed switch. For barrel plugs with a 5.5mm external diameter and 2.1mm internal diameter. Three solder lugs are available for tip, ring, and switch.

Solid tinned copper bus wire. 105°C temperature rating, 600V.

High quality chassis mount battery holder. This steel holder fits standard 9V batteries. The vertical mount and small footprint of the holder are great for narrow spaces and work well for any project. See S-H158 for horizontal-mount.

NPN Darlington transistor (TO-92 package) - designed for applications requiring extremely high current gain at collector currents to 1.0A.

• Max collector to emitter voltage = 30 V
• Max collector to base voltage = 30 V
• Max emitter to base voltage = 10 V
• Max collector current = 1.2 A (continuous)

OPA2134 SoundPlus™ Audio dual op-amp with low distortion, low noise and precision. The OPA2134 are ultra-low distortion, low-noise operational amplifiers fully specified for audio applications. A true FET input stage is incorporated to provide superior sound quality and speed for exceptional audio performance. This, in combination with high output drive capability and excellent DC performance, allows for use in a wide variety of demanding applications. In addition, the OPA2134 has a wide output swing, to within 1 V of the rails, allowing increased headroom and making it ideal for use in any audio circuit. The OPA2134 SoundPlus™ audio operational amplifiers are easy to use and free from phase-inversion and the overload problems often found in common FET-input operational amplifiers. They can be operated from ±2.5-V to ±18-V power supplies.

Small black plastic chicken head knob with an off-white indicator line for a vintage look. Fits 6.35mm (1/4") potentiometer shafts.

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

1N4742A 12V zener diode in a DO-41 package. A semiconductor device that, above a certain reverse voltage(the zener value) has a sudden rise in current. If forward biased, the diode is an ordinary rectifier. When reverse biased, it exhibits a sharp break in its current-voltage graph. Voltage across the diode remains essentially constant for any further increase of reverse current.

Four conductor Flexstrip ribbons cables. These ribbons feature a nomex insulator so there are no melting issues when soldering. Unlike typical ribbon cables, the wires are designed to distribute the stress of the bend and vibrations throughout the entire cable rather than directly on the solder joints. These cables are a great choice for PCB to PCB connections in pedals, synths, and other electronics. The spacing is .1" (2.54mm).

Carling mini-toggle switch, 3PDT, ideal for stomp boxes, phase switching, coil-tapping, series/parallel pickup switching in guitars.

• 0.354" bushing length
• 1/4" mounting hole diameter
• On-On Three pole/double throw (3PDT)

PT2399 echo/delay chip used in many DIY and commercial pedals. The PT2399 is in a DIP 16 package. Minimal external components are required for use and delay time is set with resistance.

Single row of 5 U-style terminals on a black board. The U-style terminal strips are spaced 8.3mm apart allowing for more densely populated point-to-point builds. The boards are 0.063” thick.

2N1308 NPN germanium transistors. The 2N1308 is a popular NPN for fuzz pedals and other effects. This transistor is in a TO-39 package.
