You can rubbish China all you like, but they don't muck around when you know your shit...

I love quick turnarounds on custom shit. It'll be here by Friday... LOL

Thanks to all who helped BTW...

[timbo]

warming up the iron now!

[Nicko]

LOL.

The IRONy (see what I did there?) is that the components may not be here till next week. And they are coming from Australia

[timbo]

mmmm humour! there are some good parts suppliers in australia now, not just junk. what are the tollerences like on the components?

[Nicko]

Yeah, between Jaycar / Futurlec and Altronics, i've got this fucker sorted !

5% tolerance on the resistors

Parts have been ordered, and enough to make 10 stompboxes... I only have enough boards and boxes and footswitches to make 3 at the moment though...

Aus post always seems to take forever, I get things sent from the UK and it will arrive here in no more than 3 days (average delivery is 2 days).
It will arrive in Melbourne and from there is takes 4 days..... I read the tracking log and it has passed through 3 different countries in the two days
yet when it reaches AUS it takes 4 fucking days to travel 1/10th of the distance.

All of those components on that board are standard components, I would have thought that Jaycar would have had all of them in stock at any local store?

[Nicko]

While Jaycar may have them in stock, i'm buying 50 of each in preperation for making more down the track...

Jaycar is damned expensive for multiples of components. I'm paying 4 cents each for resistors through Futurlec. Price them through Jaycar to get the shock of your life (no pun intended)

[Nicko]

So Farking full of win ! This just landed on my desk. Thanks to everyone who helped! #winning





As I suspected, the Australian components should have been ordered earlier Waiting on stompboxen and resistors and pots...

I also paid for 5 and got 10... mahahahaha!!! *evil grunt*

[timbo]

cool beans. what brand pots did you order?
