Metal Film resistors consist of a resistive element of an extremely thin layer of metal alloy vacuum deposited on a substrate. Precise and quiet. These 1/8W resistors have a very small body and are great for tight builds.

2N404 PNP germanium transistors. The 2N404 is used in many fuzz pedals along with other effects. This transistor is in a TO-5 package with long leads commonly found on germanium transistors. For a higher voltage version of this transistor, see P-Q2N404A.

0.354" bushing length. 2-Position On/On. ¼" mounting hole diameter. Double pole/Double throw (DPDT). PC mount pins.

Latching DPDT footswitch, PC mount. Made in Taiwan.

EMI / RFI screen (grounding washer) for S2 and S4 Cliff jack sockets. This lock washer is added to S2/S4 Cliff jacks to provide a chassis/shield connection for the connection. Jacks sold separately.

The BC183L is a general purpose NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The BC183L is commonly used in fuzz pedals and has a reputation as a warm sounding silicon transistor for fuzz. The BC183L was used in some of the earliest silicon Fuzz Face pedals. The ECB pinout matches the arrangement on the P-PC-FUZZ-ISS2-BRN Iss. 2 PCB

• NPN polarity
• Collector emitter breakdown voltage 30V
• Collector base breakdown voltage 45V
• Collector current 100mA
• Power 1W
• Transition frequency 120MHz
• TO-92 case

Brass inserts for knobs. Fits ¼” potentiometer shafts. Features a slotted set screw. These inserts are a great option for repairing knobs with stripped out set screws or for building DIY knobs using resin molds, 3D printing, or any other method.

The BAT41 is a schottky diode used in many DIY projects. General purpose metal to silicon diode featuring very low turn-on voltage and fast switching. This device has integrated protection against excessive voltage such as electrostatic discharges.

Pure Tone has developed a high quality 1/4" three pole (stereo) jack using a new patented design that improves upon and offers a more reliable connection than standard 1/4" jacks. The Pure Tone design features two springs for both the tip connection, a spring for the ring, and an additional spring for the shield connection. These help to secure the plug into place and create a greater surface area connection at contact points to improve stability and signal integrity. These jacks also increase the current capability of 1/4" connections.

Linear taper, vertical mount, Alpha pots with a 6mm D shaft. These 9mm pots are popular in DIY guitar pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. Mounting nut and washer included.

Standard size terminal strips, 1/16" thick bakelite, tin plated steel solder lugs and brackets on 3/8" centers.

3PDT latching footswitch with PC terminals. Blue with 9 terminals. Made in Taiwan.

High quality TO package transistor sockets by Mill-Max. These machine pin sockets make swapping transistors in pedals and other projects a simple process. These use a standard TO footprint so they are ready for use on PCBs with matching footprints.
