Pedal parts

I have started (trying) to build my own pedals. Can anyone suggest good suppliers of resistors/capacitors/transistors etc.?

Pretty much anything you need here, reasonable postage https://www.bitsbox.co.uk/

Powder coated enclosures, components in bulk and things you can't find at Bitsbox, free postage even for tiny orders https://uk.rs-online.com/web/

Cheapest switches I can find at the moment are from Switch Electronics via eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-x-Latching-On-On-Foot-Switch-3PDT-Guitar-Effects-Pedal-Stomp-Box/281982740648

IMO it's worth getting the 3PDT daughterboards and ribbon cables from Pedal Parts too, makes it boxing it all up simple and tidy

Thanks roberty. I actually bought and built a simple tester from Pedal Parts before I tried building any circuits. It has made testing the 2 veroboard builds I have made so far so much easier

No probs. I plan to do my next projects with vero/circuit tester :-) it's an addictive hobby
