It's a shame there aren't any decent UK sites for pedal parts. My engineering freind insists he could get me the pedal parts for a tenner, get a BYOC PCB for £8, which would be great... but theres no where to get a decent casing. They are cheap from the euro sites listed, but shipping seems to kill pretty much any saving you'd make sourcing the parts yourself.

You should be able to get enclosures for pedals from most decent electronics suppliers in the uk, they are standard diecast alum project boxes. I think the size they use for the byoc kits is ~120x66x40

I've just checked Maplin's site and you're right. Thanks for that. I assume something like this would be fine? http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Tab ... &criteria=

You're gonna want the Eddystone boxes not the ones you linked too.  A little googling revealed that the Eddystones are more or less the same as the Hammond since they are actually owned by the same company.  Here's more info...

http://www.stinkfoot.se/andreas/diy/mods/housing.htm

The 29830 part number is the same as a 1590BB (same as a Voodoo Labs or most Prescription Electronics in size) which is a little bigger and slightly shallower then the typical BYOC box (a 125) but I think all his projects should fit in one without any difficulty.

Cheers for the info. Maplin also seems to have Eddystone boxes.


Would i be right in thinking these are what you mean? the product codes do match up. http://www.maplin.co.uk/module.aspx?ITA ... =22m5#spec

Adding a new store,ALLIED ELECTRONICS.

Its like mouser but has pics.

I spent an hour going through it getting direct links to all the components i use cause it takes a while to find stuff.

If you order from these guys you MUST know exactly what you need and the type and value etc or y'all buy a bunch of wrong sized parts.

They have a huge selection of carbon comp resistors,pcb mount 9mm pots (vex style),vero,copper clad,hammond boxes,and anything else ya need for boutique effects. and its a builders dream store imo.

Anyways,my new favorite store for parts.

ALLIED



If ya cant find a specific part,lemme know and i'll give ya a link.

:)

i was just looking around for a UK source that Beavis Audio uses in the "radio shack" noisy cricket.

I actually want to build a signal/noise generator but as they're general purpose it should be fine.

so if you want General Purpose IC PCBS in the UK -

http://www.t2retail.co.uk/productDetail ... ct=2760159

they also have 50 piece packs of metal film resistors, which i have been unable to find anywhere else, but I'm bit worried about using them, there's an almost identical site who also sell "bridal lingerie" - WTF?!

http://www.dayga.co.uk/productDetail.as ... ct=2760159

Might be safer to order themin from the US actually, what do you guys think??

i often buy general parts from digikey (though mouser is usually cheaper)

http://www.digikey.com/

antique electronics has lots of tube stuff - vintage knobs - speaker cloth, and one pedal kit (rattler)

http://www.tubesandmore.com/

ted weber has a decent selection of parts, a couple pedal kits, lots of amp kits

http://www.tedweber.com/
