The 'must be' [components bulk purchase]

[Plexi]

Hi there!
I don't know if this thread exist, anyways...
I was thinking in have a resume of which components are mostly used/repeated in any DIY guitar gear world.
Maybe it helps to anyone who whants to purchase in bulk, and don't wanna have a useless lot of caps/resistors/etc

Here it's my list, I made it along the 20/30 pedals I built:

Capacitors:
1nf
2 nF
2.2nf
3.3nf
3.9nf
4.7nf
6.8nf
8.2nf
10 nF
15 nF
22 nF
33 nF
47 nF
68 nF
100 nF (a LOT of this one)
*100nF ceramic for PS bypass
150 nF
220 nF
470nf

10 pF
47 pF
51 pF
100 pF
150 pF
220 pF
270 pF
470 pF
680 pF

Electrolitic Capacitors
1 uF
2.2uF
4.7uF
10 uF
22 uF
47 uF
100 uF
220 uF

Resistors

Diodes
5mm Red LED's: OBLIGATORY 
1N4148 / 1N914: great for clipping, cheap.
1N400X: some suggest 1n4001, I use 1n4007. Reverse polarity protection.
1N5817
1N60 (Germanium)
1N34a
BAT42

Any suggestion can be added

I'd separately add 100nF ceramics (for PS bypass).

Ditch 2nF caps and get some 15nF instead. Similarly, ditch 51pF and get 150pF.

[EBK]

ditch 51pF . . .

You're just trying to make us all use 100pF for our tube screamers, aren't you?

On the DIY fever list, 560K ranks up there. I have had a need for those upper-half values: 500k to 800k or so.
+1 on extra 100k, maybe 10k and 1M usage warrant extra numbers as well.
Good idea here.

Thanks bancika; great statistics.
With your permission, I add them to the list.

You're right blackieNYC!
1M it's a must be in any pedal to avoid switch poping.
Like the 1N400x and 47/100uF e.caps for power "insurance"

Thanks, very useful stuff. Would you consider adding common diodes and pots? I always seem to be needing a diode i don't have. And as for pots they seem to be the bane of my life when it comes to building. I'm yet to find a reliable source of all the values of right angle board mount pots (i like those best i think)

Nice very good idea, I would have wanted to have that when I started making stuff.

Sure!
There's a few diodes that can be useful; I'll add the ones I always used.

For pots, I think they're more exclusive in each project... but: you always want a extra 100k, 500k or 50k pot there to experiment..

For PS part, better to have any Schottky of, say, 1A for series protection...

Also, 220μF electros are rarely used - better with 470μF and half value resistor (if any)..
(470μF/16V are of the same price & size of 220μF/25V..)
