RC4558 dual op amp in an 8-pin DIP package. The RC4558 device is a dual general-purpose operational amplifier, with each half electrically similar to the µA741, except that offset null capability is not provided. The high common-mode input voltage range and the absence of latch-up make this amplifier ideal for voltage-follower applications. The device is short-circuit protected, and the internal frequency compensation ensures stability without external components. Features

• Continuous Short-Circuit Protection
• Wide Common-Mode and Differential Voltage Ranges
• No Frequency Compensation Required
• Low Power Consumption
• No Latch-Up
• Unity-Gain Bandwidth: 3 MHz Typ
• Gain and Phase Match Between Amplifiers
• Low Noise: 8 nV/√Hz Typ at 1 kHz

Applications

• DVD Recorders and Players
• Pro Audio Mixers

This DC power jack is similar to those used on vintage MIJ Boss pedals and others. This jack has a 2.1mm pin for use with 5.5mm barrel plugs. Three solder lugs are available for tip, ring, and switch.

NOS OA74A germanium diodes from Amperex. OA74A diodes were used in many vintage electronics and also make for great clipping diodes in stompbox effects pedals. The red end is the cathode. OA74A is a near-exact replacement for OA81.

SFT353 PNP germanium transistors. The SFT353 is a popular PNP for fuzz pedals and other effects. This transistor is in a 18B4 package with long leads commonly found on germanium transistors. This style of package can be found in Italian built Vox Tonebenders.

Original 4-pin Fender jack. Fits Fender amplifiers from 1988 - 1999. PC mount.

• Direct replacement four-pin mono amplifier jack
• Includes lock nut and washer
• Fits Princeton® Chorus, Pro 185, BXR series, Stage™ 112SE, Ultimate Chorus™, Roc Pro™ Series, Performer series, Bronco™, '94 Twin®, Princeton 112+, Deluxe 112+, Automatic™ GT and Blues Junior™ amplifiers

The BC182 is a general purpose NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The BC182 is commonly used in fuzz pedals and has a reputation as a warm sounding silicon transistor for fuzz. The BC182 has a more narrow hFE range than the BC183 which can be helpful for certain builds.

Phenolic skirted knobs with set screws and brass inserts. These skirted circular knobs are a close match for the classic knobs used on Fairchild compressors like the 660 / 670. They feature a V-shaped painted inlay indicator on the skirt as well as a dot indicator on the top of the grip. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts. Pairs nicely with P-K347-30-X, P-K347-32-X, P-K347-52, P-K347-61 (see photo)

Large skirted aluminum knob with indicator line and set screw. This solid aluminum knob has a 1.125 in. diameter skirt and ¾” grip that features a minimalistic style of fluting. The knob uses dual set screws to ensure no slipping once set on the pot’s shaft. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

3PDT switch mounted charge pump PCB for positive ground effects. This small PCB simplifies the wiring of 3PDT foot switches in guitar pedals while also offering -9V when used with a standard +9V power supply. This is a great option for positive ground effects such as vintage fuzz pedals. The circuit of this PCB also features a protection diode and an LED indicator for when the effect is engaged.
This board is compatible with the MAX1044, TC1044S, TC7660S, and LT1054 charge pump ICs.

• Nominal contact resistance:

Rocket Sockets by Pepers' Pedals allow for the tightening of various nuts for jacks, potentiometers and switches on guitar effects pedals without scratching the enclosure and damaging the graphics or paint as the typical metal tools will do.

1/4" Mono 2 Conductor Jack, Transfer Circuit. Used in Fender, part number: 004-1701-000. Includes nut and washer.

High-quality USA made knobs from Davies Molding. The large skirted 1919 pointer knob is made of solid phenolic and features an infilled indicator line.

Keep your pedals pristine with these 100% cotton bags. These drawstring bags are 4 in. x 6 in. and fit 1590B or smaller stompboxes. Cloth pedal bags are also great packaging for boutique pedal builders.

Carling mini-toggle switch, SPDT, Solder Lug, 3-Position, On/Off/On

Iss. 2 fuzz PCB made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This PCB is a recreation of the iss. 2 circuit board found in classic Fuzz Face pedals. The iss. 2 version uses NPN silicon transistors. When drawing the layout, multiple originals were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This classic board fits the mounting holes on both original and reproduction Fuzz Face enclosures. For the germanium iss. 1 version of this board, see P-PC-FUZZ-ISS1-BRN.
