Stompbox Suppliers

[texstrat]

I have had great success ordering supplies from both Pedal Parts Plus and Mammoth Electronics. Both have excellent selections, although Mammoth has a few more semiconductors to choose from. But both typically ship the same day and I have parts in hand two days later, Northwest US.

Anyway, if anyone is looking for a good supplier, you cannot go wrong with either one. I am not affiliated with either company.

Never had good luck with Mammoth, it is like hit or miss. Actually more like 75% of the time there is something wrong with an order. My friends have the same problem. The four of have ordered and three times there were problems. Really sad! 

They do correct it after a while but it gets old having to deal with stores that can't get their act together.

With PPP, I've gotten the runaround on some faulty parts--they eventually made it right, after lots of badgering on my part.  Also, their powdercoat colors are sometimes way off with regard to what is pictured on their website--and differences of lighting don't always account for it.  This would be ok if they allowed returns, but they don't, per se--unless, as I said a moment ago, you're willing to go to the mat with them.

I've never had an error in a Mammoth order.  Not once.

Clearly everyone's experience is different.

TAYDA

I've had good success with Tayda, Mouser, Digikey, Newark, Small Bear, Tubes-Store.com, and Aron's Store. I haven't ordered from Mammoth or PPP yet.

TAYDA

I've ordered from Thaishine, their US-based affiliate.  It was fine.  Tayda is ok for on-board components, but they don't offer powdercoated enclosures, and their knob selection is terrible.

I get most of my onboard components from Newark--I like knowing that I'm going to get my order in 2 days. 

Small Bear is great, even when they mess up, which is rare.
