The only other type of diode I would add (which is something most people get anyways) is LED's. 5mm, 3mm, superbright and diffused...and different colors too. They all have different forward voltages.
What brand are are better for pedals ? I've heard that the Panasonic FC series (Black and Gold) Are they really better than let's Nichicon? are they worth it ? Thanks for all the info it's a gold mine !
Hi. I have qhat might be an irrelevant question but I just don't understand what I'm looking at and I am curious. What is that In your background? It's not a screen and it's not a window. But it is moving and has some trees or plants swaying in the wind. Is it just me? What is that? Thanks.
are those anti static drawers or does it not matter? studying electrical engineering and looking to stockpile some parts and start doing more side projects.
eduardo torres You only have to worry about a capacitor's voltage rating being too low for the application. The only issue with higher values is size considerations (ie. higher voltage usually = larger size).
hey i want to do my own night drive pedal and i have question. Does it change something if you are in a another country ,cause voltage isn t quite the same in some country and, i want to know if i have to change anything in the wiring ?
+BZHbryan Hey mate, the night drive needs 9v dc, so the mains power you have does not effect the circuit. As long as you dc adapter is output 9v's you will be fine. Alternative a 9v battery could also be used. Cheers.

Thank you for give us your time and knowledge, recording these amazing and precious videos! God bless! From Indaiatuba- SP - BRAZIL
+Vinnie Morales Thank you for your compliment Vinnie and watching my videos!
Vinnie Morales agreed, this is the sort of info that is really useful for a beginner. thanks for doing these component vids
Most used Diodes Vintage/Specialty
1n4001 (polarity prot) OA1160
Bat41 (clip) 1s1588
Bat46 1n60
1n5817 D98
1n4148 (very highly used) D9B
1n4738A (not needed) OA128
Electrolytics (more voltage and/or uF = bigger size)
1uf Less often
4.7uf 22uf

+Rhop Thanks Rhop, left LED's out of this series, whoops

Could you add a link to where you got your component storage containers?

Id be worried about very small value components where you could burn it out but most of these components will handle it
hello can i use caps of 50v? or 16v? or it doesn't matter

+DIY Guitar Pedals thanks men,hope i won t suck with the wiring, but it looks fine ^^
I ended up with some 1n4002s along the way. Useful or no?
Ya never know - swap one in place of something else and see what you get! You might come up with something cool and different!
you have your 78L05 drawer labelled as transistors but it's actually a voltage regulator IC
