Parts list for stocking up on. Need common capacitor values.

[henrymop]

     Hey, I liked this forum so much I decided I just had to join!

     I'm making a list of parts I'm going to order, and need some help with what would be good common values and items I will need to start experimenting with pedal more than I am now. I already have built some pedals (that don't work when I put them in the box, but they do work perfectly on the breadboard), and am making a list of parts I want/need.

     My very first question is what values for non-polarized and electrolytic caps would be good for beginner for me to stock up.


     Here's my list so far:

     Resistors
     -10x 500 Ohms
     -10x 1K's
     -10x 5K's
     -10x 10K's
     -10x 20K's
     -10x 50K's
     -10x 100K's
     -10x 1M's

     Caps
     Non-polar
     -10x .1uF
     Electrolytic
     -10x .1uF
     -10x 1uF
     -10x 47uF

Thanks in advance for any help.

resistors don't usually come in 5, 50, 500 values, and don't come in 2, 20, 200 in the common E12 series.

for resistors you can just buy a big mixed pack of values with more of the common ones, they are so cheap you can practically use them as toothpicks. get metal film (the blue ones) as less noisy. i got 1000 sent from china through ebay for maybe £6. they usually include zero ohm resistors which are fun ornaments and conversation pieces.

same with electrolytics. a big mixed kit will cover everything for pennies.

Oh, really? I'll check that out. Were could I find those bags?

As far as 0 ohm reses, they're for jumping over parting in a circuit board that you can't get to without a 0 Ohm res or a wire.

like i said, ebay.

They're for automated assembly. Why have a separate process for wire jumpers when you can use the resistor process.

Thanks and sorry for repost. But may as well finish.

Hey that's my thread! :-)

beavis audio also has a common parts list that I don't remember seeing before

Thanks a ton. That's exactly what I was looking for. I guess the key word is "stock."
