Forum Member Suppliers

  • General Guitar Gadgets There's so much here. A very cool site to purchase pedals and view schematics. Fantastic!
  • Tonepad Projects, Layouts, a very cool site!
  • Aron's DIYS store A large selection of parts including pre-tested 3PDT switches. Purchases support the forum and the Wiki.
  • Small Bear Electronics Purchase parts for your pedals here. Steve is a great guy to do business with!

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.
  • Classic Fuzz Good source of Tropical Fish and Mullard mustard-yellow capacitors.

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.
