Boutique Suppliers
Smaller shops generally dedicated to stompbox parts
- Pedal Parts Plus Friendly, fast service. Occasional brand substitution (Neutrik vs. Switchcraft for example), so be specific if you're particular about that sort of thing.
- Futurlec Super-cheap prices on Alpha pots. Patience is often necessary when ordering, as turnaround can be slow with occasional reports of incorrect parts being sent. Issues are reportedly resolved in a quick and cordial manner by Futurlec. Lots of "offices" around the world, but it's generally assumed to be a small operation located in Thailand.
- Banzai Musical Products Germany based supplier of DIY parts.
Large Suppliers
- Mouser Electronics Great general source for bench stocking. The carry lots of PIC micro parts but not AVR's. No minimum order.
- Digikey Electronics Great general source for bench stocking. The default source for Atmel AVR micro supplies. $25 minimum to avoid $5 shipping charge.
- Allied Electronics Good source for Vactrol Optoisolators. No minimum order. Fast shipping. Weighty, expensive looking catalog.
- Farnell InOne Not mentioned as often as some of the others. Farnell stocks Analog Devices chips.
- Newark InOne Newark InOne is the American equivalent of Farnell InOne. As with Farnell, they carry a full line of components including Analog Devices.
- Parts Express Speakers are their main business, but they also stock DIY tools and some electronic parts, including Hammond transformers and enclosures. Shipping tends to be at least $7.00US, so their not the best choice if you only need a single low-dollar item. Parts Express inventory can be ordered through Amazon, allowing customers to use Amazon gift certificates for Parts Express purchases.
