Most Common Resistor Values

[RyanGillam]

Hello,

I have been offered 200 resistors, with 10 various values. However I can choose the values. What are the 10 most popular values for stompboxes?

Thanks!

Hmm... you'll run across more than 10 needed eventually, but I'd go with this:

150ohm
300ohm
1K
5K
33K
50K
250K
330K
470K
1M

That's off the top of my head. I'd look at some schems of stuff you want to build in the near future, and see what the common values are.

I'd go with something like

100
470
1k
4k7
10k
33k
47k
100k
470k
1M

Those plus combinations of them in series or parallel would give you values that were near enough for a lot of pedals.

Was in the same situation before, and this is what I used:

Jay I never noticed you'd already posted almost exactly what I did, great minds and all that

Thank You Guys!

I went with Slackers option after looking at a couple of possible projects.

I agree with those lists and would add a few 2m2 as well (i use them anyway lol) and maybe some 220k

I won't argue that lol.

I was a bit shocked in myself when I read your post! I'm starting to "get" some of this stuff finally.
