I REALLY fancy building a Maestro Fuzz clone based on the original. Point to point wiring etc… I’ve got a soldering iron sitting there doing nothing and some spare time during week days due to my job.
Does anyone know where people get housings, resistors, capacitors etc etc in the UK? Amazon seems to sell a load but I dont want 100x some value part that I wont ever use.
Also where do others find the right schematics?
I’d say your best bet is an independent electronic part shop. Try asking on your local sublemmy/subreddit
We dont really have those now …Maplin used to have a store 2 miles from here but they all closed down. Bit of a shame.
Your best bet is, sadly, amazon or eBay. There are some small sellers with a Web store, but you’ll likely have to buy in the same bulk units as amazon or ebay and likely for more.
With a quick search I’ve seen Maplin does free delivery in the UK. There’s also:
https://dazzletech.co.uk/ with a proper selection of DIY electronics stuff.
https://quasarelectronics.co.uk/ again with loads of different things. https://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/ for a small selection of USB host chips and boards.
There’s more, but that’s the first 3 that popped up that wasn’t Amazon, eBay or Maplin.
Edit: hobbytronics apparently does a MIDI to DIN box, which is kinda neat.
I think the name “Maplin” got bought after they had financial problems. I’ll have a look at those too, though.
Fair dues, hope I was at least a little helpful.
