Hi,Just was wondering if anybody in the UK that has built the Neovibe managed to source certain parts in the UK that matched the Mouser catalogue specs which are specofied in the PDF build doc and if so could you tell me the companies in question,most seem pretty straightforward apart from:-

LDR's
Diode Bridge
Power supply

Also would it be feasible to fit a socket for the lamp and have a lamp the can be changed like a torch bulb.
Is it critical that the resistors are carbon film or can i use what i have,sorry for the daft questions but i'm just trying to source locally or at least in the UK and i would like to get this pedal right first time,
thanks Crawford.

Rapid have the diode bridge http://www.rapidonline.com/searchresults.aspx?style=0&kw=db102
and some LDRs I don't know if any match the specs though. They got power supplies as well but they are mostly switch mode which you probably don't want. I use them a lot and they are really reliable and have fast delivery.

You can get suitable AC power supplies from Maplin, if you've got one nearby they probably have them in the shop, the one by me does anyway.  They also have LDRs and I guess diode bridges as well, but you'd probably have to get those online.

I also use rapid and delivery is usually next day and they are very good for prices. I had a quick look on there and you should beable to get everything you need.

your resistors can be any type,
lds = look for 50 to 200k vr
bridge rectifier  is a standard type so most anything will do . just noticed Slackers link for this (perfect)

Please at least have 1 forum post before sending me a PM demanding something.

Cheers guys,with all the threads on the forum about the Neovibe it seems hard pedal to build so if i have at least the correct parts its a start, Crawford.
