Hi LektroiD,

I don't know about equivalent FETs, but Banzai has the 2n5461 p-channel FET here:
http://www.banzaimusic.com/2N5461.html

I hope it helps

€0.24 for the transistor, €7.95 for shipping Confused

I have to say projects that use rare parts are always problematic. I wish I'd noticed this sooner... Is it essential that is must be that exact transistor?

i took a look at my conversation with scott stites and thomas henry from the beginning of this project, and if i got it correct any P-Channle JFET should do. you could use a socket to be on the safe side.
thomas' goal was to have curcuits that don't use rare parts. and i know scott used a NTE part.

BTW if the transistor is only 0,24 it is not a rare part, i would guess. you get it from reichelt.de, and they are not known for stocking rare parts... maybe it is just that P-channel is not that common as N-channel in general.

someone over at muffs is going to try different p-channel jfet's, so we will know more soon.

I know this is a ridiculous question, but on the silkscreen the presets are shown to be a particular orientation. Is this necessary? I ask as the 25K ones I have are 1-turn and the dial is facing one way. I know I can also use 50K, I don't have enough spare...

I'm pretty certain of the answer here, but just wanted confirmation, just in case there's some magic ogre lurking in the wrong orientation...

Probably a newbie question, but which 1/8" jack sockets fit the front panel PCB?

Also, that riser you have on the LED, what part is that?

Thanks!

the sockets are available from thonk in europe, or from erthenvar in northern america.

i got these LED raisers from a local dealer. do you need a mouser part#? would have to search that myself.

no. this the footprint that came with the CAD.

The sockets got here fast. I'll go look for the LED raiser myself.

Hi fonik, do you have any PCBs for this left? I'd love a circuit PCB and a eurorack PCB, maybe even 2 of each if there's enough! Smile
Or maybe someone has a set spare that they'd be willing to part with?

Fingers crossed....

Cheers,

Bod

Hello,

I don't know if I am blind, but I just can not find D2 on the PCB..

can anyone help me on this? Smile

thank you

Ok, I apologize for my previous post.

I just read on the previous page that D2 is not needed.

i found it to be redundant, however, IF you experience double triggers you could mount it piggypack in parallel to R44.

Well, except that I found in my own particular build, without D2, the trigger was firing on the falling edge of the square out as well as the rising edge.

I put it down to component / build variation. It shouldn't be difficult to do the build without D2, and then add it if needed. If you want better detail, PM me and I can send a picture of how I did the mod.

Edit: Matthias beat me to it Smile

currently no circuit PCBs left, however, i re-ordered a very few spares to have complete sets again (still have some front panels and PCBs).

as soon as they arrived i will check my lists and see what is available for purchase...

the thing is, i don't run an online store and i don"t have stock. i just produce based on interest gathered the forum's threads started for that purpose.

Yes, please let us know if (or when) these will be available again. I was late to the party!

Alright, finally got around to building this.

Some questions arise:

- What is the purpose of the ferrite bead, since it can be substituted with a cable?
- What is special about the SP3T switch, compared to a SPST or SPDT? They seem to be harder to find, for one. Smile
- I have a hard time tracking down a 1uF disc capacitor. Will a 1uF monolithic ceramic capacitor do?

ferrites filter noise. however, i build with 10R resistors first to have some short protection in case something is wrong with my build. most of the time i jut leave them in.

different manufacturers refer to the these toggle switches differently.
what you need is a single pole ON-ON-ON. and you are right, they are not that easy to get, i buy them from small bear. they have good prices that justify the postage:
smallbear SKU 0221C1

the BOM asks for a 1uF electrolytic (C12, polarized). or did you mean another cap?

I must have made that 1uF ceramic disc up in my mind, disregard the question. Smile
