Resistors with one black stripe?

[lowell]

I've seen these in many pedals.  They are never in the schematic it seems.  Anyone know what these are?   They are cream colored w/ one black stripe that is centered on its body.  (no i'm not talking about a diode).

They're just jumpers/ 0 ohm resistors.

The tolerance is usually pretty bad, but at least it's never negative.

Is this a joke or are you serious. I thought they were actually a piece of wire running through the coating material which was only there so pick and place machines could insert them.

Well, if the value is zero ohms and you are off by .1 ohms, then that is an infinite amount of error (because dividing by zero is bad, usually), thus the tolerance is terrible.

Yup, a joke.  But true.

Figured it was a joke, yet you were also correct.  Best type of joke.
