Hi Guys,
I've almost run out of vintage parts for pedal building here in Japan. I brought them over from New Zealand haha. I was wondering if there's an online shop where I can but vintage capacitors and resistors for a pedal project?
Have finished this simple treble booster and works like a treat! However I want to try and make other pedals. Thanks!!

I’m no help for a supplier but just wanted to commend you on the build! Looks awesome! I’ve been wanting to do exactly this for ages, however I can’t even get a basic SHO boost working so doubt I’d be able to get some vintage parts working any better.

eBay is about your only real option, there are a few googleable hifi parts stores that have overpriced caps and resistors, but eBay is your best bet.

Surplustronics used to be the go to here, there has got to be something akin in Japan, half the good old stuff was made there, I’ll take some transistors if you

Nice. Is that a bc109 or so circuit? 600V rating is a bit overkill?
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Haha it is overkill, purely for aesthetic only Besides they look awesome with a glass backing. Hahajvpp wrote:Nice. Is that a bc109 or so circuit? 600V rating is a bit overkill?
