Replace tip with S-T7875B. Made in Taiwan.

BC108C NPN silicon transistors made by Philips. The BC108C is a popular NPN choice for fuzz pedals and other effects such as vintage silicon Fuzz Face builds and Big Muff clones.

LF347 quad op amp in a 14-pin DIP package. The LF347 is a low cost, high speed quad JFET input operational amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage ( BI-FET II™ technology). The device requires a low supply current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET input devices provide very low input bias and offset currents. The LF347 is pin compatible with the standard LM348. This feature allows designers to immediately upgrade the overall performance of existing LF348 and LM324 designs. The LF347 may be used in applications such as high speed integrators, fast D/A converters, sample-and-hold circuits and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage, low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate and wide bandwidth.

Linear taper, vertical mount, Alpha pots with a 6.35mm shaft diameter and a center notch (detent). The center notch is useful for builds where the center position of the pot is commonly used such as panners or EQ controls. These 9mm pots are popular in DIY guitar pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. Mounting nut and washer included.

Original Cliff sealed and switched blue jack. Fully threaded. Many types of professional music equipment nowadays use high power components, and need to be cooled by fans. Fans draw in dust and pollutants which can adversely affect the contacts of conventional jacks, with exposed contacts. This sealed jack avoids possibility of contamination of contacts by means of a sealing cover over the top and bottom of the jack.

15° sloped aluminum consoles from Hammond’s 1456 Series with wood sides. These enclosures are a great choice for desktop effects and synthesizers as well as vintage style stompboxes.
Features:

• 4" x 5.5" x 2" (1” height at front)
• Top panels are 0.064” thick aluminum
• Powder coated top and bottom
• Wood sides are real walnut - each piece has a unique color & grain.
• Solid oiled walnut sides on a black, ventilated steel base.
• Comes with self adhesive rubber feet and required mounting hardware.

Dust cover for standard size DC power jacks. This cover is simple to install and can help protect the power jack on effects pedals and other electronics using this style of DC jack. Jack sold separately.

Genuine Carling 2 Position Mini Toggle, On-On, Short Round Bat, Right Angle, PC Mount Features:

• SPDT ( Single Pole/ Double Throw) On-On switch
• 0.275" bushing length
• 0.270” bat length
• ¼" chassis hole diameter
• Right angle, PC Mount terminals

Note: On-On switches may sometimes be referred to as On-None-On.

Depending on the manufacturer, this enclosure is usually very similar to a 125B.
Aluminum enclosure with countersunk lid that machine screws into drilled and tapped holes. Lap joint construction provides protection from dust and water. Vibra finished, no sharp edges.
Add 0.16" to enclosure depth for lid.

Easy to use cable tie gun cuts ties up to 50 lb. tensile. Use this tool to pull ties tightly and then cut the excess length.

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.

Our 3PDT PCB daughterboard is a small board designed to simplify the wiring of 3PDT footswitches in guitar pedals. All inputs and outputs are clearly labeled on the PCB, removing any confusion about how the footswitch should be wired, and decreasing the chances of wiring mistakes or short-circuits.

9 volt battery clip with 5 3/4" red and black wire lengths. Simple construction and perfect for use in effects pedals. Package of three.

Self adhesive metal cable clips. They easily attach to most surfaces using a strong foam adhesive. These cable clips are a great way to tidy up project wiring and securing components.

Linear taper Alpha 16mm pots with a solid shaft and long 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: 20.7 mm + 4 mm (0.815” + 0.158”)
• Lead Distance from shaft center: 14.3 mm (0.563”)
• Lead Thickness: 0.5 mm (0.020”)
• Shaft Diameter: 6.35 mm (0.25”)

High quality vactrols from Xvive. The Xvive vactrols are clones of the original Excelitas / Perkins-Elmer vactrols used in many effects pedals, synthesizers, compressors and other equipment. These vactrols feature a thick epoxy sealed casing. The VTL5C3 and VTL5C3/2 both have a steep slope, good dynamic range, a very low temperature coefficient of resistance, and a small light history memory.

Carling, DPDT latching footswitch, On-On, with solder lugs. Provides a compact yet rugged solution to general purpose switch needs. Alternate action, metal construction and stiff (6-8 lb) actuation force have combined to make this switch a pillar in a variety of markets.

Pre-drilled wedge shaped pedal enclosure by Mod® Electronics. The shape of this folded steel enclosure is inspired by the original FZ-1 and FZ-1A Fuzz Tone enclosures but the predilled layout is inspired by the Octavio and the early Carlsbro fuzz. This provides a classic pedal design with a layout that is more compatible with modern pedalboards than the original Fuzz Tone layout. The layout is intended for two pots, two jacks, and a footswitch so many fuzz varieties can be built in this enclosure. The wedge shaped fuzz enclosure features a hinged bottom cover for easy access to the battery. The four screws that attach the bottom are included.

The 2N2484 is a silicon planar epitaxial NPN transistor in a TO-18 metal case type. The 2N2484 is primarily intended for use in high performance, low level, low noise amplifier applications.

High quality, made in USA lead formers. These are great tools for bending component leads to fit various footprints. The radiused ends provide a right angle bend that does not stress the metal lead. These lead formers are made of high impact ABS plastic.

½" panel mount with solder lugs. Round plastic with normally closed switch. For barrel plugs with a 5.5mm external diameter and 2.1mm internal diameter.
