Flat 0.01uF (10nF) film capacitor rated for 250V. Made of metallized polypropylene film, this capacitor is a great choice for audio applications. The style of this yellow capacitor is similar in appearance to the flat rectangular Philips 341 output caps found in original Fuzz Face pedals.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tapered rubber feet with 3M self-adhesive backing. These round feet have a ½” diameter and can be used to provide grip and slight elevation (0.15") when secured to most project enclosures. Great for effects pedals and rack mount units when removed from the rack.

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.

VTL5C1 vactrols for use in amplifiers, effect pedals, synthesizers and more. The VTL5C1 was commonly used for channel switching circuits in amps made by Crate and others.

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).

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)

Carling, SPDT mini toggle with short actuator, 3 positions, ¼" mounting hole diameter, 0.354" bushing length.

• 0.354" bushing length
• 3-Position On/Off/On
• ¼" mounting hole diameter
• Single pole/Double throw (SPDT)
• Solder lugs

High-quality USA made knobs from Rogan Corp. These medium, skirted pointer knobs from Rogan’s PT Series feature a soft rubber grip molded over a solid polymer knob. PT Series knobs can be found on synthesizer modules from Make Noise, Mutable Instruments and others. Fits 6mm D-shafts.

• Height: 0.84 in.
• Diameter: 0.62 in.
• Fits 6mm D Shafts
• Indicator on round side of D-shaft

For a T18 knurled version of this knob, see P-K272PS-W. A variety of different sizes are available from the PT Series.

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.

Pure Tone’s new long threaded three pole (stereo) 1/4" jack provides full contact for improved connections and signal integrity. This jack locks the cable securely into place creating a greater surface area connection to carry more signal for an improved frequency stability. This jack is a great choice for both mono and stereo applications as well as guitars using active electronics.
