bobbass4k Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey, i'm building a true bypass/feedback loop pedal, i'm confident about the actual building, but this is my first pedal type thing, so i'm pretty much just following [url="http://experimentalistsanonymous.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=134"]this[/url] word for word to start off. My current problem is the audio jacks, ive come across more types than i thought even existed, so which of [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/electronics/jacks-c-277_1_81_86.html"]these[/url] would i need? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use stereo ones for mono applications (you just ignore one of the contacts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
