4PDT latching footswitches with Solder lugs!!!!

Post by oinkbanana »

:omg: :omg:
it seems like these have never been around (only with PC lugs)

i've got to thank Devi for pointing this new distributor out (they also sell joysticks!!)

so how cool is that
4PDT stomps. hopefully they're high quality and don't click like mofos.


and before you ask they're useful for stereo pedals and flip floppers!
now posting as Forrrest.

Wow, looks like a great supplier. Good prices and a one stop shop....anyone used them yet?

Edit: Eh, transistors seem a bit high compared to many others.

Haha here's to hoping they actually put the right amount in there!

nbabfm turned me to them recently. Fast shipping, good deals on almost everything, etc, but...

They actually kind of screwed me over without realizing it. I got an error message when I tried to place my order, thus my order had not gone through. I decided to try them again another time but right then order from people I've used before. Well, I spent all my money, and then found the next day that I had an email from mammoth saying the order was on the way. Bring on the overdraft :facepalm: . When the package showed up (very quickly), I was missing one of my 4pdt's. They had it checked off and everything, but not included. I emailed them explaining what had happened and was given a credit to use with my next order. Should be placing it at the end of the month! Also, this was all taken care of within 20 minutes. Very quick customer service.

They have the best prices I've found on pots, power jacks, and enclosures. Their prices on resistors is basically in line with everyone else's.

They basically just sell the 4Site catalog. :idk:

I bought some of those aluminium-center knobs from them, and their were awful. The hole size was inconsistent, and not even always centred.

Pedalpartsplus is still mah favourite. They have UV LEDs. Which I tried to buy at Mouser, but they had some warning about cancer, so I keep buying them at PPP so it's not my fault. :joy: They also custom drill screen print, etc. And they sell 50 cent jacks that are actually pretty nice (they're also smaller,which is nice for tight builds). And they sell Panasonic ECQ-Vs for the same price as Mouser. Oh, and they'll ship first class mail so it'll only cost you about 2 bucks if you forget, like, one thing.

Smallbear rules for a lot of things too! They sell tools and stuff. Good stuff! For pretty decent prices!

If these smaller stores keep popping up, I might be able to stop buying from Mouser! ... but not yet.

Oooh. Good prices on knobs!

I know a cheaper place for 1590Bs and BBs, but I might get pots and knobs from here. :D They should carry more ICs...

Speaking of Mouser & Mammoth... there shipping to the U.K. is just ridiculous (I wanted 5 Specific Pots from Mouser, The Postage cost 3 times there total cost!) and I don't think I could ever afford Mammoths Postage but do you think I could go in on a buy with one of you U.S. Guys next time you order? It'd probably cost me less to pay your cart shipping and mine from the U.S... there are some things I need from them.

I'm down. I make Mouser orders all the time. Just shoot me a PM with the details, and send a payment for the cost + the cost of shipping (which is about 13 bucks if it fits in a USPS small flat rate box, I think).

That goes for any of you foreign kids.

What brand of enclosures? Because the 4Site enclosures they sell at Mammoth are like Hammonds, no NSC. :idk:

This guy I know sells some sand blasted (basically pre primed!) Hammond 1590B and BB clones.
It's a marginal difference, but the cheapest I had precursor seen. Has 3PDTs for a quarter cheaper too. I actually bought a bunch for 2.75 when he had a sale.

He's got some other stuff, too. That's just usually what I get from him.

Here's his email: goodfreshie@yahoo.com, see what he's got in stock. :D
