The selection and pricing make me want to quit. :lol:

Seriously, these guys are CHEAP. And the knob selection is insane.

duuude.. you are a lifesaver! I was JUST about to post to ask where I might find A500K PC mount pots, because SmallBear was out of stock. I'll be damned, this place has em!! And lots of other good deals.

So.. any idea where in the world this place is?

Thanks!!!

yeah, that's some pretty good pricing. hopefully they get their components up soon... most wouldn't load for me. At those price points, this might be my new go-to knob & switch shop. thanks for the tip, CJ!

WOW! :shock:
I think the big-three pedal stores (SB, PPP, EC) just had a new kid show up on the block!
Great knob selection! 3PDTs for a reasonable price of $3.50! DC and audio jacks. Plus a great selection of ICs (including LM308N for Rats and LM13700 for Snow White Auto-wah).
WOW! :shock:

I definitely know where I'm placing my next order!

about $10.50 shipping on a $50 order (with a couple of enclosures thrown in).

Aww man. They have a full line of CoolAudio reproduction ICs.

I just ordered a bunch of knobs and a couple PCB-mount pots. Shipping via USPS Priority was $6.50.

Heh.

Almost every single product says "Used by many of the top boutique guitar effects pedal manufacturers in the world."


Looks cool, though. And you're right, CJ, that knob selection is pretty ridiculous. Good find.

It looks great...especially since I have noticed EC slipping lately

those prices are ridiculous...let us know what the quality is like when you get your package.

I will say that, if nothing else, their system of ordering a powder coated enclosure is much easier than PPPs. Competition is good.

Everybody is. Where do you think electronic components are made? Hint: it's not in America. 8)

I ordered on the 14th and they sent a shipping notification on the 15th. I should have it Monday or Tuesday and I'll tell you what I think of their overall service and quality. So far, so good.

Got my order yesterday. Overall, it was well-packed.

The invoice only has stock numbers and not product names, so that can be confusing. But it's not a big deal.

I'll give them a thumbs up.

Got my order yesterday as well.. pretty speedy.

All the jacks, pots and knobs I ordered came in one big bag. No biggie- it's all there and intact.

I mistyped my email address, so my confirmation email never arrived. I emailed them about it and they got right back to me quickly.

Everything looks good, I say thumbs up too!

Forgot to mention something really positive about my experience:

I ordered some knobs with a hex-head set screw, and they included the hex wrench!! I couldn't believe it.

I think I'm going to have to order from this place next time I get some enclosures. It's cheaper for me to get a painted and drilled one than the plain ones I'm currently buying.

FYI, I ordered from them last Wednesday and got my package on Saturday. Pretty good turn around. Probably would have been here on Friday, but I didn't order until 4 or 5 in the afternoon.

Everything seems like good quality. Jacks, pots, switches...one pot was missing it's washer and nut, but I've got plenty of spares. Also, the granny smith green enclosures are quite a bit brighter than the ones from PPP. Maybe a tad neon-ish. Again, nothing to freak out about, I like it, makes the decal stand out a bit better.

Ordered two enclosures, some ICs and transistors. The enclosures were really well done, though they seem to use slightly smaller screws than other brands. They even packed the powder-coated one in Styrofoam wrap.

My only (minor) problem is that they put the ICs in regular foam, which I thought could potentially damage the ICs (IIRC).

I'll definitely order more from them, but I'll still be buying from my regular sources too.

They are supposed to be getting in resistors/caps in the near future.

I am not the most pleased with my order, the knob I got the screws strip uber easy, the threads are in the plastic, no metal. The shipping was crazy expensive. Boooooooooooooooooo.
