I haven't done any serious building in years, but I was cleaning up my basement and I found a bunch of silkscreened enclosures and PCBs for one of my pedals and started putting them together today. I need a few odds and ends, caps, switches, pots, LEDs, etc. It looks like I can get almost all of what I need from Small Bear, though one item appears to be mistakenly priced (10 ceramic caps for $100. I emailed them).

Who else is selling pedal oriented parts? I can go to Mouser, but it ends up taking longer to put the order together than doing the actual work, sometimes, due to number of options.

i’ve gotten knobs and switches from lovemyswitches.com. they also carry general pedal parts.

I was super bummed when Small Bear was going out of business awhile back but stoked when SynthCube took over. While the transition was happening I started ordering from Stompbox Parts and Amplified Parts for different things. I also have always ordered from Love My Switches.

After Small Bear got back up and running I placed a small order for some LED bezels and it seemed forever for them to be shipped to me which kind of annoyed me. Sure it's much faster now but I pretty much get most of my stuff from Stompbox parts and LMS as the prices seem a little better and I am usually buying sorta in bulk to do runs of things instead of buying parts for one or two specific pedals I am building for myself.

Mouser used to be my favorite but they carry a fraction of what used to but still order from them time to time. Tayda is also popular for DIY as it's super cheap but I will usually only buy box caps, sometimes resistors and PT2399s from them. They also UV print without minimums which is really nice.

Thanks all.

As long as Small Bear fixes the quirk that makes a $.10 part go to $10 in the cart, I found most of what I wanted, except for the knob I like, which comes from Jameco.

Being based in Europe, most of the times I order from Musikding in Germany. Sometimes I also order from Banzai music, but only if I don't really find what I need on Musikding.
