The BC183 is a general purpose NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The BC183 is commonly used in fuzz pedals and has a reputation as a warm sounding silicon transistor for fuzz. The BC183 is available in three different gain ranges: BC183A, BC183B, and BC183C. Type hfe (IC=2mA, VCE=5V, f=1KHz) BC183A 125-260 BC183B 240-500 BC183C 450-900

Phillips panhead machine screw, 4-40, zinc. Designed to go through a hole or nut that is pre-tapped to form a mating thread for the screw. Has a general purpose bearing area and can be substituted in most applications for round, truss, or binding heads. Phillips drive is the most common drive used and is designed to "camout" when the screw reaches optimum tightness, thus preventing damage to the screw head.

#20 solid copper wire with modern insulation and lacquered cotton braid finish. 105°C temperature rating, 600V. For a stranded version, see: S-W7XL

Small plastic control knob with set screw and metal insert. This knob has a pinched grip similar to the Davies 1510 but features a smaller diameter and scooped cutout for a distinctive appearance. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

Plastic control knob with set screw and brass insert. This skirted knob is similar in style to the knobs found on many Boss pedals. It features a fluted grip with a radial-brushed metal top. The indicator line extends from the top of the down down through the bottom of the skirt. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.
See P-K370X for a skirted version.

Solid tinned copper bus wire. Great for point to point builds, guitar electronics wiring, or any situation where insulated wire is not required. 105°C temperature rating, 600V. Sold by the foot. For 100ft spools, please see S-W428X.

Standard vintage style wah pots with solder lugs and gear included. Part # R-VWAH-POT (100K) has an audio taper. All others are linear.

1N60 point-contact germanium diodes in a DO-7 package with striped clear glass. 1N60 diodes were used in many vintage electronics and also make for great clipping diodes in stompbox effects pedals.

High quality ½" panel mount DC jack with solder lugs from Cliff Electronic Components. 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. For barrel plugs with a 5.5mm external diameter and 2.1mm internal diameter. Three solder lugs are available for tip, ring, and switch. Mounting nut included.

Clear dust cover for use with 16mm potentiometers. These covers slide over the back of the pot covering the holes and gaps to help prevent dust from accumulating inside avoiding potential repairs and replacing down the road. These covers are a great choice for tight builds to help insulate the PCB or other parts from the backs of potentiometers. The dust cover is made of clear hard plastic and is easy to install on Alpha 16mm pots.

Prewired steel low-profile LED bezel with a diffused LED. With a 0.061” height, this steel LED bezel has an almost flush appearance on the panel it’s mounted to. An internal current limiting resistor is installed in this bezel and it can be used with voltages up to 12VDC. Mounting nut and rubber o-ring included.

The BC184 is a general purpose NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The BC184 is commonly used in fuzz pedals and has a reputation as a warm sounding silicon transistor for fuzz. BC184 was used in various Colorsound pedals - Jumbo Tone Bender, Supa Tone Bender, Power Boost, etc. It was also used in the Schaller Fuzz, and has been used in fuzz pedals from well-known builders such as Skreddy Pedals, D*A*M, and Stu Castledine.
