I have been putting together my parts list to get my build started. I have managed to find all the caps, resistors, diode, and Jfets at mouser. However I am having a hard time figuring out which pots to use. Where do you get your pots and trim pots from?
I get my pots from mouser too. They have many different types, and sometimes you have to by two different manufactures for different values, but they have everything you need except for the footswitch.
Smallbear has everything you need for any project guitar related. Some things are more expensive than mouser, but everything is there.
I get most parts from http://www.futurlec.com/. I found the FETs and footswitches to be super cheap on ebay if you buy in bulk and they work great.

Wow, thats a great price for pots...and they have the LM308 for just over $2..But the 2n5457 for over a $1...Whats with that?
Well, their delivery is slow at Futurlec. There is a thread about it on here somewhere...

Yeah, like anything you buy online you should double check the pricing.... Cheapest place I've found for pots and I bought 50 or so from them so far... they work great. Just a note though, make sure and read the item descriptions carefully... I bought some 4558 chips I didn't realize were SMD. Doh!

Its not too bad in my experience. My first order took 8 or 9 days and I was annoyed but everything after than has taken about a week. Its coming from Thailand so maybe its different depending on where you live. I'm in So. Cal.

That sucks. I put in a huge order for a bunch of stuff. It's still was only $78 bucks with shipping. If everthing is quality and doesn't take too long I'll keep using them.
I'm a little worried though I havent recieved confirmation email.
