Where do you buy DIY Pedal components?

Hey,

Where do you shop for components?

Depends where you live? I get my stuff from either Yebo, Communica or Mantech (in Cape Town).

I use those 3 as well and RS Components and for 3PDT stomp switches I use Mr Valve in Pretoria.

Go to the Monte Allums website in the USA.

I just ordered a mod for a Boss SD1 for $20 on 30 December 2011. Postage was about $5 and it arrived on 9 Jan.

eBay for less common components: eg - $14 for 10 3DPDT stomp switches. (free shipping takes about 3 weeks).

Small Bear Electronics for pedal specific components: eg - mini pots, op amps, transistors etc. (priority shipping is about 1-2 weeks).

Pedal parts plus for painted enclosures. (ordered mine a week ago and still waiting).

Communica for unpainted enclosures and general parts. But apparently it's a real mission to paint yourself.

RS Components for any general parts Communica doesn't have.

OR BYOC, for everything u need in one kit.

I have 3 projects on the go at the moment - a Timmy O/D, an EA tremolo and a tap tempo tremolo. I have ordered pots, 3PDT switches, enclosures and some other bits from BYOC parts shop in US and have bought the other parts locally from GT Electronics in Boksburg and Communica in Centurion.
I have yet to find a source for right angled board-mountable 16mm pots locally.
BYOC has minimum order $50 and shipping for my order on USPS Priority Mail international small box was $13.95.
For an NSL-32 optocoupler that I couldn't find locally (RS Components list it but can't supply), I put out a plea for help on a forum and some kind soul in Canada posted me one!
