Hey, I'm Nooblet Mc Noobingston and I have a ridiculous question about resistor values for all of you.
I'm very impatient right now and I need a 2.2M resistor but all I have are some 10M, 3.3M, 1M, and various K and ohm value resistors. Can't I just use two 1M's and throw a 200k at the beginning or end? Does what end the 200k matter? Couldn't I even put it inside the 1M's if I wanted to get 2.2M?
Thanks,
A pedal noob.

Just use two of the 1M in series. Don't mind the extra 200K.

Yes, you can add resistors together when they're wired in series. It doesn't matter what order they are in.

yeah you could put two 1M end to end. you might want to get some tayda resistors for a penny each. shipping is a dollar
Code: Select all
10 x Resistor 2.2M OHM 1/4W 5% Carbon Film (PKG of 10) $0.10
Shipping & Handling $0.99
Tayda Electronics Total $1.09

it's cool I found a stash of 2.2Ms in the end and my "big-ol-package-o-pedal-fuckery" just arrived from Mammoth.
EDIT: Okay and why the hell are those Tayda guys so cheap?! D:'

factory in Taiwan, Tayda is in Thailand. they pack all the orders in Thailand where its cheap labor. then they box up the days shipping in one big ass box that goes to one address in the USA where they un-box it, split it up into individual orders, and ship them to their final destinations.
