I have spammed McSpunkle too much already so it's time I ask the other DIY guru people a few questions.

Long story short:
Jazzmaster project is on hold with no templates/funds.
Eager to build something
Pedals are inexpensive (comparatively)
Tools galore over here
Pedals it is
Easy pedal so Bazz Fuss

Now while I wait for some cash I am making a list of question/obstacles and parts I need. Beware however because I am as new to building pedals as a 6 year old to tax dodging.

1. Where to get the parts?
I live in Holland so most american chains will have extortionate shipping rates. Anyone in Europe know of a good store to get stuff? I found a dutch site but it was utterly innavigable. I have a soldering iron, voltage meter and all sorts of tools used in a variety of professions but no perfboard or printboard (what's the difference?), enclosures, jacks, parts or a solder sucker and more specialised things like that.

2. How do I hook up in and output jacks to that little schematic? As well as fit a 9v power supply jack instead of a battery clip and a stomp switch. I get the schematic itself but not how to fit it in an actual pedal.

3. What wattage rating resistors do I need? Ohmage is specified but I wouldn't know which wattage rating to pick.


Anyone who knows the answer to any of these questions: feel free to enlighten me
Thanks in advance!

1. No clue.

That should help quite a lot, you should also try reading through the articles there, they are very helpful.

3. 1/4 watt should do it.

Thanks for the link that clears a few things up.

If you don't want a battery clip can you just leave the right lug for what it is?

Yeah, just leave it.
