Decent resources for the Effect Pedal hobbyist

Share em up. Schematic sites, Places to buy from.

Just found this, which looks great
http://www.schematicheaven.com/effects.htm

I lurk and get schematics here:
http://www.freestompboxes.org

I buy stuff here:

Both excellent music orientated electronics retailers, unfortunately based in Germany. But cheap.
http://www.musikding.de/index.php/language/en - paypal only
http://www.banzaieffects.com/ - accepts Credit Cards
http://www.maplin.com - for LED bezels, stripboard, purple LEDs, stuff I forget from the above two
http://www.rapidonline.com/ - They have standoffs and some good deals

Interesting how far away from my SaltBooster this is, plus my layout is more economic.

they have alpha pots for really cheap.

Thought as more of us seem to be into making our own effects we should have a thread where we can list various sources for parts/info etc, then perhaps one of the mods could create a sticky for all the links?

How about I just merge this with the thread that already exists in Guitar Resources?
http://www.shortscale.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16013

[Johno]

ha yeah, that would work.

Thanks for going to the trouble of finding all those links, categorising them and putting them in one thread Johno

Nice work. Particularly recommend the tech pages on Beavis Audio- he's just revamped them and they're really useful. There's also a bit of the site dedicated to sourcing cool and unusual knobs/enclosures.

We have a lot of them in this thread already, Tim.

I like this one- they're cheap and have 3PDT switches the cheapest, plus useful size 125B box.
